Jaguars...23 Broncos...14

DENVER -- The Jacksonville Jaguars slowed Travis Henry and the league’s best offense by turning them into sideline spectators in a 23-14 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Fred Taylor rushed for 84 yards and the Jaguars (2-1) controlled the clock for nearly 39 minutes in shutting down the league’s top tailback and its most prolific offense.

Henry had only 11 carries for 35 yards. The Broncos (2-1), who piled up 911 yards in their first two games, managed only 265 yards.

Denver had no choice but to go to the air in the fourth quarter and Sammy Knight sealed the win with his first interception for Jacksonville in the closing minutes.

Henry, who had gained 267 yards, rushed only three times for six yards in the first half, not the kind of display the Broncos or their fans expected on the day that former Super Bowl most valuable player Terrell Davis was inducted into the team’s ring of fame.
