The Jacksonville Jaguars dominated the New England Patriots on Sunday, with Trevor Lawrence throwing three touchdown passes, including a fingertip catch by Parker Washington in the end zone, to lead the rout. The game marked a significant bounce-back for Jacksonville's offense after what the Associated Press described as the team's worst offensive performance in nearly a year.
For the Patriots, the loss intensified concerns about quarterback Drake Maye, who committed three turnovers. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel benched Maye in the fourth quarter with the team trailing 35-6, pulling the third-year quarterback with under eight minutes remaining. Backup Tommy DeVito took over.
The loss leaves New England at 1-2 through three weeks, per multiple reports. Frank Schwab's NFL Week 3 roundup noted the Patriots' continued struggles, describing Maye as part of the problem for a team searching for answers early in the season.
