Yahoo Sports • • general
Key Points:
- The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the New England Patriots 35-6 in Week 3, showcasing a dominant performance led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who threw three touchdowns and passed for 182 yards.
- Patriots quarterback Drake Maye struggled significantly, committing three turnovers and appearing ineffective against a tougher schedule.
- In an unusual play, Lawrence chose to take a knee near the end zone with nearly nine minutes left in the game instead of scoring, a decision he later admitted was likely a mistake.
- Lawrence explained he intended to bleed the clock but recognized it was poor judgment given the time remaining; his teammate Bhayshul Tuten scored on the very next play.
- Despite the odd moment, the Jaguars maintained control and continue to build momentum as a potential Super Bowl contender, while the Patriots face challenges early in the season.
