Lawrence was 19 of 29 for 182 yards, three touchdowns, one interception. Maye was 14 of 25 for 199 with none and two.
So the losing quarterback threw for seventeen more yards.
The game turned here: Borregales kicked a 35-yarder in the second to make it 7-3, and from that kick to the end of it Jacksonville scored 28 and New England scored 3.
Cameron caught the first one, 12 yards. Meyers caught the second, 10. Washington caught the third, 17. Little kicked all five extra points.
Rodriguez ran the fourth in from 5. That drive started at the New England 5 and took four seconds, which is the whole story of the third quarter.
Tuten ran the fifth in from a yard.
He carried 15 times for 73, long of 12.
Meyers caught 7 for 64. Strange caught 3 for 32, long of 23. Hollins had 6 for 87 for New England and nobody on either side had more. That is 23 past Meyers.
Washington’s touchdown came at the end of an 8:42 drive, which is the longest of the afternoon on either side. The next longest was 5:29.
Total penalties, 9 to 7. Penalty yards, 68 to 56. Time of possession, 28:07 to 31:53. So New England was flagged twice more and for twelve more yards, and still held the ball three minutes and forty-six seconds less than Jacksonville did.
Two yards is the margin on the stat sheet. Twenty-nine points is the margin on the scoreboard. The team’s own page names what went between them: two interceptions of Maye, one of them Hunter’s first career interception, and a Maye fumble that Hamilton fell on.
Jacksonville is 2-1. New England is 1-2.
