Patriots Beat Jaguars 23-16

 Hey Guys!



The Patriots beat the Jaguars on Sunday by a score of 23-16. This was a low scoring game but we topped the Jaguars. Tom Brady had 2 interceptions, which before this game he never threw an interception against the Jaguars. Brady also had 2 touchdown passes and him and Wes Welker teamed up for 10 passes on the night! That makes Welker to have the most 10 reception games of all time, the 18th of his career today. On other news, Stephen Gostkowski stepped it up today with 11 points and 3 field goals made. This wasn't the best game for the Patriots, but what can you say, at least they won. Jacksonville did have a chance to tie it up with a touchdown when they were near the end zone but Patrick Chung sealed the win with a last second interception. Here's the grades.

Quarterback A-



Tom Brady did a good job somewhat. I mean, the other quarterback may have did better than him in yards wise but Brady threw 2 touchdowns. Now, those 2 interceptions, let's forget about those 2 interceptions. I mean, did they really benefit Jacksonville? Probably not.

Offense A



Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd, and Stevan Ridley were the stars of the offense. Some other players had nice catches for a lot of yards but Welker and Lloyd had more catches and yards, including Welker with 10 receptions. Ridley ran for a lot of yards today and it did benefit us during the game.

Defense A



Our defense did great letting up only 16 points. They started to fall apart a little towards the end but Patrick Chung would not take any more of this. He intercepted the ball to seal the win for us. They limited Jacksonville to only 1 touchdown the whole game.

Kicking A



Stephen Gostowski made in all 3 of his field goal attempts and all of his extra point attempts. He had 11 points for us today and benefited us a lot.

So overall we played good it was just Brady that couldn't shine at certain points, but that's ok because we still won. The Denver Broncos won so they are probably getting the first round bye, but Texans lost and if we win next week and they lose we'll get the 2nd seed, Broncos will get 1st seed and Texans will fall to the 3rd seed . Anyways, so what do you think about this win? Do you think the Patriots will get pass the first round or do they need a bye? Comment!
