With Week 1 in the books, it\u2019s time to start thinking about Week 2. There\u2019s one game that stands out, mainly for where it has been tucked into the TV schedule.<\/p>\n

The entire slate for the second week of the season has only two games pitting a pair of 2025 playoff teams against each other: Steelers-Patriots in the 1:00 p.m. ET cluster and Jaguars-Broncos in the late-afternoon window.<\/p>\n

But Jaguars-Broncos isn\u2019t one of the 4:25 p.m. ET games. It begins at 4:05 p.m., with a regional TV audience. The big window goes to Commanders-Cowboys on Fox (Raiders-Chargers and Seahawks-Cardinals are also in that spot.)<\/p>\n

Yes, the Cowboys are the Cowboys. They continue to draw big TV crowds. But the Jaguars went 13-4 last year. They thumped the Broncos in Denver in Week 16, 34-20. This time around, it\u2019s the home opener at Mile High Stadium. And, suddenly, the Broncos will be feeling more than a little antsy, after losing badly to the Chiefs on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The scheduling decision fits nicely with Jacksonville coach Liam Coen\u2019s belief that his team is being overlooked<\/a>. It gives him extra grist for the \u201cdisrespect\u201d mill. Which should make it easier to get the players ready for a repeat of last year\u2019s underrated performance against the team that won the No. 1 seed in the AFC.<\/p>\n

From a programming standpoint, it makes sense to go with the Cowboys. Still, Jaguars-Broncos should be a better \u2014 and more consequential \u2014 contest.<\/p>\n

The message to Coen and the Jags is clear. To get more attention, you\u2019ll have to command it. The best way to do that in the short term will be to send the Broncos to 0-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Week 1 in the books, it\u2019s time to start thinking about Week 2.
