Quick Take: Broncos' magic runs out

It was over when ...
The Broncos went for a questionable fourth-and-5 from their own 9-yard line with just over four minutes remaining. David Graham dropped a beautiful pass from Jay Cutler, and the change of possesion set up a chippy field goal for the Jaguars, who went on to take a nine-point lead that held up for the win.

Game ball
Jaguars defensive tackle Marcus Stroud and defensive end Reggie Hayward helped anchor a front line that stuffed Broncos running back Travis Henry, and the NFL's leading rusher heading into Sunday. Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall is one to watch, after he notched seven receptions for 133 yards.

Key stat
The Jaguars held the ball for 38:42 seconds, compared to the Broncos 21:18.

Noteworthy
Jaguars kicker John Carney had two field goals inside 20 yards (19, 18) and has converted all five of his field-goal attemps with the Jaguars. ... The Broncos' defensive front hasn't been able to stop anybody from running the ball this season, including the Jaguars, who piled up 191 rushing yards. ... The Broncos dynamic duo of Henry and receiver Javon Walker combined for 45 total yards (Walker had two receptions for 10 yards).
