Patriots vs Jaguars: 2026 form so far

Read these as a 2-game sample rather than settled form. Rates this early move a long way on one result.

New England’s defensive numbers are the outlier: one touchdown conceded, 17.4% allowed on third down and nothing from any red-zone trip. Their own passing game is the weakness, with four interceptions and a 63.1 rating.

The matchup that settles it: one touchdown conceded in two games

New England have held opponents to 17.4% on third down and have not allowed a score from any red-zone trip. That rate will not last a season, but it is a real edge now.

Jacksonville were the better version of themselves in Week 1, when Lawrence threw four touchdowns against Cleveland. At Denver he threw none and finished at 63.7.

New England’s route to losing is their own quarterback. Four interceptions already, and Jacksonville have taken the ball away twice.

Players to watch

  • Drake Maye (NE, QB): 208 yards against Pittsburgh, but four interceptions across two games.
  • TreVeyon Henderson (NE, RB): 16 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown in Week 2.
  • Trevor Lawrence (JAC, QB): 189 yards and an interception at Denver, after four touchdowns in the opener.
  • Parker Washington (JAC, WR): Seven catches for 98 yards at Denver.
