The Number Crunch: What went wrong for the Patriots against Jacksonville

The New England Patriots suffered a lopsided 35-6 defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars, plagued by deep offensive struggles and severe execution issues. New England failed to capitalize on any of their three red zone trips, matching a league-worst scoring percentage, while Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars dominated the middle of the field with a flawless 5-for-5 performance inside the twenty.

Rookie quarterback Drake Maye struggled to find rhythm up the middle and threw two interceptions under pressure, hampered further by an ineffective ground game that averaged just 3.2 yards per carry and early-down play calling that repeatedly stalled out. Penalties also compounded the visitors' woes, as nine infractions halted any potential momentum during the blowout.
