The Jaguars’ 31-20 thrashing on Sunday of the Patriots, who overcame a fourth-quarter deficit to topple the Jaguars in the A.F.C. Championship game last winter, served more as a rebuttal, and as a reminder that they will continue to pursue conference supremacy with all their might. Instead of shrinking, the Jaguars, now 2-0 for the first time since 2006, compartmentalized. It was the Jaguars who made critical plays at critical times, and the Patriots — and, yes, Tom Brady — who staggered late. When the Patriots forced a turnover in the fourth quarter, taking over deep in Jacksonville territory, Dante Fowler responded by strip-sacking Brady.
