The prize of Jacksonville's offseason free agency class, defensive lineman Arik Armstead put together his best game in a Jaguars uniform on Sunday against the New England Patriots.
While the box score suggests a decent game from the veteran lineman — two tackles with one for loss — he played a crucial part in Jacksonville's pass rush success against New England and its rookie quarterback, Drake Maye.
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson suggested Armstead's showing stemmed from his improved comfort level seven games into his Jacksonville tenure, as he entered the campaign recovering from offseason knee surgery on an injury he experienced with the San Francisco 49ers last year.
