Jonah Coleman’s Rookie TD Decides Broncos’ 20-13 Win as Hamstring Issues Hit Backfield

Denver’s late comeback highlights thin running‑back depth and leaves J.K. Dobbins’ hamstring recovery as the key issue before next week’s game.

Overview

  • The Broncos rallied for a 20-13 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday when rookie Jonah Coleman scored a 3-yard touchdown that became the game‑winner.
  • Second‑year RB R.J. Harvey was inactive for the game with a hamstring injury and did not play, forcing Denver to change its planned backfield rotation.
  • Starter J.K. Dobbins exited late with a hamstring issue and was described by coach Sean Payton as having a "little" injury, but his availability will be closely monitored during the week.
  • Denver’s defense, which emphasized tackling fundamentals after Week 1, limited Jacksonville to three second‑half points and created the field position that fueled the comeback.
  • The result spotlights Denver’s Week 1 rushing shortfall and validates the team’s decision to keep multiple backs, with Coleman’s emergence creating immediate depth while the club monitors Dobbins and Harvey ahead of Sunday Night Football.
