ORLANDO (UCFKnights.com) – Blake Bortles led Jacksonville to the AFC Championship in 2017, but was unable to get the Jaguars past the New England Patriots. It was just a week two matchup, but on Sunday Bortles led the Jags to an impressive 31-20 victory over the Pats with 377 yards and four touchdowns.

Bortles is now 15-8 in his last 23 starts, dating back to late in the 2016 season. He added six rushes for 35 yards on the ground to lead his Jags to a 2-0 start. A.J. Bouye, who had four tackles in the win, helped hold the offensive-minded Patriots to just 302 yards of total offense.

On the big stage of Monday Night Football, Shaquill Griffin’s heroic efforts didn’t lead Seattle to victory in a 24-17 loss at Chicago, but they were impressive nonetheless. Griffin picked off Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky not once, but twice, while finishing with four tackles and a pass break-up.
