Key matchup: Tom Brady vs. Jaguars

TOM BRADY vs. JAGUARS DEFENSE

Why the Patriots have the advantage:

In Brady’s last five meetings against similar cover-3 defenses (Seahawks, Falcons, Jaguars), he has completed 73.0 percent of his passes for 1,717 yards (343.4 per game), 10 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 104.0 rating, and the Patriots have averaged 32 points per outing. The Jaguars are good, no doubt, but they have a scheme that a healthy Brady should shred.

Why the Jaguars have the advantage:

They’re ranked second in points, yards, sacks and takeaways for a reason, and their defensive line might be as good as that Seahawks group from 2013 and 2014.
