WR Jerry Jeudy’s final five games could impact not only Broncos’ playoff run, but also club’s future plans for the position

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:45 GMT

Any good wide receiver always thinks he’s open.There’s a telltale sign when he knows it.He throws his hand up and waves, a signal to the quarterback: Throw it here. I’m gone.Jerry Jeudy threw his hands up repeatedly last week at Houston.He was open, too. But the gesturing came after plays rather than during them.With all the subtlety of a neon sign, it showed his frustration rather than his lightning ability to separate from defensive backs.A single play rarely makes the difference in an NFL game, but any of three times Jeudy found himself all alone over the final three quarters could have changed the complexion of a 22-17 loss that came up eight yards short for the Broncos.It’s mostly been that kind of season for Jeudy.His numbers are down. His frustration’s shown up multiple times, probably more frequently than he’s made game-changing plays.At the same time, this is right about the spot on the calendar when he went on a tear last year.So are the near misses in Texas ju...
