Patriots vs. Jaguars score, live updates: Jacksonville plays its second straight NFL game in London and looks to bounce back


Patriots vs. Jaguars score, live updates: Jacksonville plays its second straight NFL game in London and looks to bounce back

The Jacksonville Jaguars are on the field in London for the second consecutive year, this time facing the New England Patriots in the fourth of five NFL international games at Wembley Stadium. The Jags remained in London after last week's 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears and have a lot of work to do in the first six weeks of the season, particularly on defense. Jacksonville's was among the worst in the league, ranking 31st in yards allowed per game (390.0) and points allowed per game (29.7), while also allowing a league-worst 276.7 yards per game allowed.

The good news for the Jaguars, at least on paper, is that rookie quarterback Drake Maye will make his second career start for New England. While facing a rookie QB can be a good thing for a defense trying to do everything right, Maye threw for 243 yards and three touchdown passes — along with two interceptions — in his debut against the Texans last week. Additionally, Jacksonville faced another rookie QB in Week 6 and Caleb Williams threw four touchdown passes.

This is the NFL's final game in London this season. The last international match of 2024 will be Giants vs. Panthers in Munich on November 10th.
