In the build up to the Jacksonville Jaguars Week 3 loss to the New England Patriots, there was a feeling that the matchup would be a daunting task. However, what made the 51-17 dismantling even more disheartening was the fact that the Jaguars were never in the game.
The Patriots went up and down the field with ease on offense and the New England defense rarely faltered against quarterback Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville offense. Yes, the Jaguars were missing roughly a handful of starters and yes, the Patriots had Tom Brady, That said, the Jaguars are an NFL team and their depth was vaunted throughout training camp and the preseason.
