Anonymous
The Jacksonville Jaguars bounced back from their loss to Denver by defeating the New England Patriots in Jacksonville, handing New England its worst performance of the Mike Vrabel era. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye threw two interceptions and lost a fumble after entering the game with four interceptions through two weeks. New England also committed nine penalties and struggled to match Jacksonville’s physicality, while the Jaguars capitalized on a disorganized Patriots defense. The Patriots next face Buffalo on Oct. 4.
