Broncos coach Vic Fangio says Jaguars coach Urban Meyer told him that in the NFL it seems like he faces powerhouse Alabama week in and week out. Meyer has had a rough transition to the pros after a highly successful 17-year run as a college coach in which he won 187 games and lost just 32. The three-time national champion has lost back-to-back games for the first time since 2013 while he was at Ohio State. The Jaguars host the unbeaten Arizona Cardinals this weekend. Meyer hasn’t lost three consecutive games since 2010 when he was coaching the Florida Gators.
