In a decisive Week 3 matchup, the Jacksonville Jaguars topped the New England Patriots 24-7, establishing their dominance early in the 2026 season. The victory not only boosts the Jaguars' confidence but also places them firmly in contention as they aim for a playoff spot. Trevor Lawrence was the standout performer for Jacksonville, throwing for an impressive 264 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to command the offense. Brian Thomas Jr. was his favorite target, racking up 167 receiving yards, while Bhayshul Tuten added a solid ground game with 49 rushing yards, contributing to the Jaguars' well-rounded attack. Defensively, the Jaguars were equally impressive, with Caleb Ransaw leading the way with four total tackles and Travis Hunter snagging an interception that shifted the momentum firmly in Jacksonville's favor. The game's turning point came when Lawrence connected with Thomas for a 75-yard touchdown, which not only extended their lead but also left the Patriots struggling to respond. Overall, Jacksonville's balance on both sides of the ball proved too much for New England to handle.
