JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Bradley Roby was paying attention in class last week apparently.
It’s a growing joke in the Broncos locker room, but there’s a lot of truth to the core of discussion that the team’s No Fly Zone secondary isn’t satisfied unless they’re making big plays, forcing turnovers and ideally, scoring touchdowns.
The Broncos forced three turnovers here Sunday in an ugly offensive game. The secondary put the clamps on a talented Jaguars talented receiving core and made Jacksonville third year quarterback Blake Bortles look like a rookie.
Roby, the Broncos third cornerback behind Aqib Talib and Chris Harris, was the star with a third quarter 51-yard pick-six that gave the Broncos a 17-3 lead and lifted the pressure from an offense that was unable to move the ball.
