The New England Patriots walked into Jacksonville and left with a 33-25 win over the Jaguars in Week 3, moving the ball at will while holding off a Jacksonville team that never quite closed the gap. It was the kind of road result that sets an early tone for a franchise still defining its ceiling. The Jaguars had chances, but they never found the answer for New England's passing game. Drake Maye was the story, carving up the Jacksonville secondary for 319 yards and a touchdown through the air. His favorite target needed no introduction: A.J. Brown went for 182 receiving yards, repeatedly winning downfield and turning short throws into chunk gains. Jacksonville leaned on Chris Rodriguez Jr., who paced all rushers with 53 yards, but the ground game alone couldn't keep pace with what New England was doing between the numbers. Defensively, the Patriots did just enough to protect the margin, and they did it with pressure and takeaways. Gabe Jacas led all players with 1.5 sacks, disrupting the pocket at key moments, while Robert Spillane was everywhere in the middle with a game-high 11 total tackles. The turning point came when Carlton Davis III jumped a throw for the game's lone interception, swinging possession back to a New England offense that had been humming all afternoon. From there, the Patriots had the cushion they needed to see it out.
