Jaguars got it done 24-18 over Colts. Trevor Lawrence threw for Jaguars — 36/52, 317 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT. Anthony Richardson Sr was steady for Colts — 17/29, 206 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Isaiah Likely has not had a better afternoon this season. Through the air: Jaguars 317, Colts 206.

Daniel Keller: "Philadelphia's defense made Jacksonville uncomfortable early and never let up—Jalen Carter lived in their backfield with 3 sacks—but what actually decided this was Jacksonville giving it away twice while Philadelphia didn't turn it over once, which is a 2-turnover swing you don't come back from in a 14-point game." Elise Carter: "Kyren Williams averaging 133 and getting 47 on Sunday—that's what happens when a defense gets comfortable in your backfield early. Jacksonville's run game never had room to breathe."

Jaguars could not stop handing it over, and Eagles made it count — 21-7. Jalen Carter was the problem for Eagles — 3 sacks. Saquon Barkley did the work on the ground for Eagles — 15 carries, 120 yards, 1 TD. Kyren Williams — 90 overall — was held to 47 rushing yards, against an average of 133. Total yards: Eagles 271, Jaguars 215.

Nicole Santos: "Jacksonville's ground game was the difference. Kyren Williams ran for 217 yards and 3 touchdowns while New England managed 22 rushing yards on 4 attempts—when one team controls the line of scrimmage that decisively, 21 points doesn't even tell the story." Caleb Brooks: "Drake Maye threw 7 touchdown passes in a loss—Jacksonville's defense couldn't touch him, but neither could New England's offense do anything on the ground, and that's the only imbalance that mattered."

Jacksonville won 70-49 in a game that looked closer than the blowout margin suggests—the Patriots' 589 total yards and Drake Maye's 567 passing yards with 7 touchdowns showed they could move the ball, but the Jaguars' 232 rushing yards and Trevor Lawrence's 6 touchdown passes proved too much to overcome. The difference came on the ground and in turnover management: while New England managed just 22 rushing yards on 4 attempts and gave the ball away twice, Jacksonville's Kyren Williams ran for 217 yards and 3 scores on a balanced 49 percent pass rate that the Patriots abandoned at 91 percent passing. By the numbers that measure what actually happened under pressure, Jacksonville's 72.5 expected win rate against New England's 35.9 tells you the scoreboard did not lie—the Jaguars are operating 21 points better than schedule strength would predict, while the Patriots are 6 points worse.

Jacksonville routed Cleveland 49-21 in week 1, a 28-point margin decided by Trevor Lawrence's efficiency and Brian Thomas Jr's three touchdown catches. Lawrence was 10 of 11 for 200 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Thomas Jr caught 3 passes for 107 yards, all in the end zone. Kyren Williams added 139 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on 7 carries as the Jaguars outgained the Browns 350 to 341 total yards while committing zero turnovers to Cleveland's 1.
