The Drive | Hour 3 | 09.16.26

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on the Avalanche and the leadership dynamic with Nathan MacKinnon and Gabe Landeskog. We preview the Broncos and Jaguars game this weekend and break down just how great Trevor Lawrence has been over his last 9 games. We debate if the Broncos' struggles stopping the run in Week 1 is a trend and not a one-off. We look back to the Broncos' three most recent games in which they allowed 220, 141, and 183 yards on the ground. Who is to blame for the Broncos' shortcomings on defense? We hear from PFT's Mike Florio on the Jaguars getting disrespected by their game against the Broncos not being a prime-time game. We react to the latest analytics, which projects the Broncos to have a 7-10 record this season. Is a losing record on the table for the Broncos, or is this an overreaction from Week 1? How can the Broncos avoid their slow starts to seasons, games, and drives? Will the Broncos' defense continue to make up for all the Broncos' three-and-outs on offense?
