FOXBOROUGH, MASS. | Losing to New England was supposed to happen for the Jaguars on Sunday. They were 13 1/2-point underdogs against a team with the NFL’s best quarterback, tight end and slot receiver.
But 51-17?
But not forcing one punt?
But giving up 11 third-down conversions?
But doing next-to-nothing noteworthy offensively?
Even without multiple injured players, the Jaguars should be far away from experiencing what happened on the Gillette Stadium turf. The draft picks and free-agent additions demand that.
“You’re going to lose every now and then; you can’t be perfect,” tight end Marcedes Lewis said.
