=11.0ptThe Jacksonville Jaguars will play their 2nd game in London this Sunday after getting pounded 35-16 there last week by the Chicago Bears. The Jags defense made Caleb Williams looks like a seasoned veteran as he went for 4 touchdown tosses while completing almost 80% of his passes. Cole Kmet and Keenan Allen each caught 5 balls for 2 touchdowns a piece and combined for 111 yards. Evan Engram was the only bright spot for the Jaguars in this one. He made use of his time on the field as he has been out for multiple weeks due to injury. He grabbed 10 balls for just over 100 yards. The Patriots had a rough game last week as well. Their losing streak extended to 5 games as they fell to the Houston Texans 41-21. It was rookie Drake Maye’s 1st career start and his numbers were not all that bad. He finished with 243 yards and 3 touchdowns but only completed 60% of his passes and threw 2 interceptions. The run game did him no service and Maye himself ended up leading the team in rushing with 38 yards. To give Maye and the Pats a real chance at success, they need to have the run game put up more than the 82 yards they were able to get last week.
