Big Plays Cost Patriots
Garoppolo found K.J. Maye on a five yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 17 to start the third quarter following a 7 play, 74 yard drive.
From there, Jacksonville would regain control.
On the Jaguars very next possession, running back Corey Grant ran 79 yards to the end zone to make the score 24-17 following a Jason Myers extra point.
Jacksonville would add to their lead just before the end of the third quarter when quarterback Brandon Allen hit Dede Westbrook on a 42 yard pass to give Jacksonville a 31-17 lead after a Myers extra point.
The Patriots would get it back to a one score game on a three-yard touchdown run by D.J. Foster to make it 31-24, but were unable to tie the game.
Jacoby Brissett went eight of 13 for 88 yards in a little over a quarter of action.
