Patriots vs. Jaguars: Score, results, highlights from Week 2 game in Jacksonville image

Blake Bortles had one of if not the best performance of his career Sunday afternoon as the Jaguars topped the Patriots, 31-20. 

New England trailed 24-3 at one point during the game, but the Pats roared back to pull within nine points. The staunch Jacksonville defense, coupled with Bortles' 377-yard, four-touchdown performance, helped keep the Patriots at bay as the Jaguars improved to 2-0 on the season.
