AI RECAPIn a commanding performance, the New England Patriots topped the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-10 in Week 3 of the 2026 season, solidifying their position as a contender early in the year. The Patriots showcased their offensive prowess, while the Jaguars struggled to find their rhythm against a relentless opponent.
Sam Darnold led the charge for New England, throwing for 270 yards and three touchdowns, marking a standout day for the quarterback. TreVeyon Henderson complemented the aerial attack with a strong ground game, racking up 92 rushing yards, while Tre Tucker emerged as a key target, amassing 103 receiving yards.

The Patriots' defense maintained control throughout, limiting Jacksonville to just 10 points and sealing the victory decisively.
