The Denver Broncos secured their first win of the 2026 season with a 20-13 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, powered by two key offensive newcomers. Veteran wide receiver Jaylen Waddle delivered a breakout performance, hauling in eight catches for 138 receiving yards, including a 49-yard grab and a crucial 29-yard reception late in the game. This marked the most receiving yards by a Broncos player in a home debut since Rick Upchurch in 1975.

Rookie running back Jonah Coleman stepped into a primary role after J. K. Dobbins exited with a hamstring injury, rushing 10 times for 39 yards and scoring the game-sealing 3-yard touchdown with under eight minutes remaining.

The duo's impact addressed the team's offseason priorities of adding wide receiver explosiveness and running back depth.
