What happened: Denver is pushing home-field advantage as the story going into its scheduled game against Jacksonville. The matchup has not started yet, so every pregame claim is still being tested from a 0-0 baseline.

Why it matters: Home-field talk gets overstated before kickoff because the game still starts 0-0 and has to be decided on execution. If the strongest case for Denver is the setting, Jacksonville deserves more respect than this buildup is giving it.
