Thanks to Tank Bigsby’s career game in London, the Jaguars rebound from a double-digit deficit to the Patriots

Thanks to Tank Bigsby’s career game in London, the Jaguars rebound from a double-digit deficit to the Patriots

The Jacksonville Jaguars had to make the most of their annual trip to London, and they did.

After last week’s loss on the road, the Jaguars defeated the New England Patriots 32-16 in their final London game of the season.

New England struck first when Drake Maye hit JaMycal Hasty for a 16-yard score, and then a field goal gave them a 10-0 lead. But then Jacksonville took off.

Trevor Lawrence connected with rookie Brian Thomas Jr. for a six-yard touchdown, and on their next drive, Tank Bigsby found the end zone. Then, after forcing a three-and-out, Parker Washington punted 96 yards to the house. A neutral zone violation on the PAT attempt caused Jacksonville to go for two and they managed to take a 22-10 halftime lead.

Early in the third period, Jacksonville kicked a field goal to take a 25-10 lead, but early in the fourth period the Jags elected to try the play on 4th-and-1 from the opponent’s six instead of three Scoring points – that didn’t work out and breathe some life into New England, which they took advantage of. Nine plays later, Maye got a 22-yard score from KJ Osborn, but the two-point conversion to close the deficit was unsuccessful.

New England forced a punt, but after Maye was sacked and saw a 4th-and-26 pass, his next pass failed, forcing everyone to ice the play within the two-minute warning. But on top of that, Bigsby capped it off with his second rushing score of the day.

Lawrence only threw 20 times, but he completed 15 of those passes for 193 yards – 58 of which came on a spectacular deep bomb catch to Thomas. Bigsby lived up to his first name, running the ball 26 times for 118 yards and two scores. At one point, the Jags had 17 rushing plays — and why not?

Maye impressed, throwing for 276 yards without turning the ball over.
