Quote:In addition to some former Jaguars coaches and players, this also applies to Jacksonville born and raised Cliff Avril. Much like Pot Roast did in the Denver game, Avril was a difference maker in the Seattle game. Congrats to them, JDR, and all of the players and coaches on both teams except Richard Sherman. Regardless of which team I end up picking in this game, I'm now rooting for the Broncos because of Sherman. 

 

Good thing the Broncos have former Jaguars so you can actually root for them, not just against the Seahawks. I would congratulate Sherman too if he wasn't a dirtbag at the end.

 

JDR got a lot of heat because the Broncos had a terrible pass defense but his critics ignored Denver's injury reports Champ Bailey missed almost as much time as Percy Harvin because of a Lisfranc sprain. Von Miller's 6-week suspension obviously did not help either and later he was put on injured reserve. Defense, not Peyton Manning, gave the Broncos a 24-0 halftime lead at New England. So I can't blame JDR for the Broncos having a bad defense.

 

I am going to have one small problem with not rooting for the Seahawks: Derrick Coleman. How can anybody not root for him after watching his Duracell commercial?
