Jerry Jeudy actually gets in the end zone this week

Jerry Jeudy made his return to the gridiron for the first time since picking up a high ankle sprain in the season-opener against the New York Giants. We predicted that Jeudy would get in the end zone in his first game back, but that did not come to fruition.

Against Washington, the second-year wideout was targeted four times by quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and caught all four of them for a grand total of 39 yards. His longest catch measured at 19 yards after he used his tremendous route-running skills to get past cornerback Danny Johnson.

Jeudy enters a favorable matchup against a Dallas defense that has allowed, on average, 293.0 receiving yards per game, ranking the fifth-most in the NFL. The Broncos should be able to work their way down field through the air and reach the red zone.

We like Jeudy’s chances of scoring his first touchdown on the season this Sunday.
