The Jacksonville Jaguars took down the New England Patriots with a commanding 38-17 victory in Week 3 of the 2026 season. With both teams looking to establish momentum early in the season, the Jaguars showcased their offensive prowess, leaving no doubt who was in control throughout the game. C.J. Stroud was the standout performer for Jacksonville, throwing for an impressive 339 yards and four touchdowns, demonstrating precision and poise in the pocket. Justin Jefferson was his primary target, racking up 127 receiving yards and consistently moving the chains. Although Quinshon Judkins managed just 50 rushing yards, his contributions were crucial in keeping the Patriots' defense honest. The Jaguars' defense played a vital role in securing the win, highlighted by Jakorian Bennett's interception that shifted momentum in the second half. Even though the Patriots' Mike Sainristil led all defenders with six tackles, they struggled to contain the explosive Jaguars offense. The turning point came when Stroud connected with Jefferson for a touchdown just before halftime, giving Jacksonville a lead they would not relinquish.
