In a commanding performance, the New England Patriots topped the Jacksonville Jaguars 38-13 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. The Patriots' victory solidifies their early-season momentum while the Jaguars will need to regroup as they look to bounce back from this setback. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was the star of the show, throwing for 237 yards and an impressive four touchdowns. His ability to connect with wide receiver A.J. Brown, who logged 69 receiving yards, helped New England build an early lead that proved insurmountable for the Jaguars. Meanwhile, Jacksonville's Bhayshul Tuten put up a strong rushing effort with 98 yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the Patriots' high-octane offense. Defensively, the Patriots made key plays that shifted the momentum in their favor. Carlton Davis III's interception not only halted a potential scoring drive for Jacksonville but also set the tone for New England's dominance throughout the game. While the Jaguars' Zach Durfee recorded a sack and Caleb Ransaw led with seven total tackles, the lack of sustained pressure on Maye allowed the Patriots to control the game and secure their victory.
