The New England Patriots take on the Jacksonville Jaguars with a trip to Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis on the line. Le’Veon Bell thought his Steelers were destined for Foxborough and “two round 2’s“, but Blake Bortles and the Jaguars punctured those plans with a thrilling 45-42 victory in Pittsburgh.
The last time the Patriots faced Jacksonville, in September 2015, Tom Brady threw for 358 yards and two touchdowns as New England cruised to a 51-17 win. But Bortles and his teammates have come a long way since then, and march into Gillette Stadium confident after defeating the Steelers and the Buffalo Bills en route to Sunday’s AFC championship.
