Everything to know about Jaguars vs. Patriots in London

The Jacksonville Jaguars defend their home-away-from-home turf against the New England Patriots in London on Sunday morning.

Both teams have fallen on hard luck in the 2024 NFL season, but both teams also had drastically different expectations entering it. The Jaguars were looking to contend in the AFC a year after finishing second in the AFC South and two seasons after winning it.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has borne a brunt of the blame for this season on his shoulder pads. Coming off a lackluster performance vs. the Chicago Bears, Lawrence and head coach Doug Pederson need to figure out their bottom-third offense and fast, as their playoff hopes circles the drain.

The spotlight isn’t just on the Jaguars starter, but the new Patriots QB, as well. Drake Maye took over the reins for Jacoby Brissett as QB1 in Week 6, and had a respectable showing: Maye threw three touchdowns to two interceptions in the loss to Houston, but showcased some flashes

Maye looks to trend up while Lawrence looks to right the ship across the pond. USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates, highlights and more from the Week 7 London matchup between the Jaguars and Patriots below.
