Explore every episode of the podcast Foxboro Finale: A Patriots Show

A rough afternoon in Jacksonville. The Patriots fall to the Jaguars 35-6 in Week 3, dropping New England to 1-2 on the season.

On this episode of Foxboro Finale, we break down everything that went wrong for New England. Drake Maye turned the ball over three times — throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble — as the Patriots failed to find the end zone and Maye was eventually replaced by Tommy DeVito in the fourth quarter.

We discuss Maye’s early-season struggles, an offense that repeatedly failed to capitalize on opportunities, costly penalties and mistakes, and a Patriots defense that had its toughest performance of the season. On the other side, Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes as Jacksonville turned a 14-3 halftime lead into a 35-6 blowout.

What went wrong, how concerned should Patriots fans be after three weeks, and where does New England go from here? Will, James and Nick break it all down on the Week 3 postgame edition of Foxboro Finale.

On this episode of Foxboro Finale, we break down everything to watch as Drake Maye and the Patriots look to build off their Week 2 win. Can Maye clean up the turnovers against a Jacksonville defense that already has three takeaways?

Can TreVeyon Henderson build off his 76-yard performance against Pittsburgh? And how will New England's defense handle Lawrence and a dangerous group of weapons featuring Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr. and former Patriot Jakobi Meyers?

We also dive into Christian Gonzalez's matchup with Washington, the challenge of protecting Maye against Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, New England's injuries, and the biggest keys to leaving Jacksonville with a Week 3 win.
