Jaguars Defeat Broncos 34-20, Take Lead in AFC South with Defensive Standout's Message
The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Denver Broncos 34-20 on December 21, 2025, in Denver during Week 16 of the NFL season. This victory gave Jacksonville a one-game lead in the AFC South, bringing them closer to securing a potential home playoff game.
Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker, the No. 1 overall pick in 2022 and a fourth-year player, delivered a postgame message urging fans to avoid bandwagon support, emphasizing the team's focus on themselves. Walker, who previously posted back-to-back 10-sack seasons in 2023 and 2024, has recorded 2.5 sacks in 12 games this season along with 32 total tackles.
The Jacksonville defense has shown notable improvement, currently ranking 10th in points allowed, 13th in yards allowed, and third in takeaways. This marks a significant turnaround, especially considering that just two weeks earlier, head coach Liam Coen suggested the team could be counted out of the AFC South race. The team's recent performance has solidified their status as division leaders.
