Blake Bortles
"I don't think you can," Blake responded. "Those guys are some of the greatest that have ever played the game. I'm not playing against Tom Brady, I'm playing against the New England defense and that's all I am worried about and that's all we are worried about as an offense, is how do we execute and put up points on their defense."

 

The Patriots’ defense is giving up 259.5 yards passing per game (22^nd) and 26.5 points per game (23^rd). The Patriots have allowed seven offensive touchdowns, which is tied for third-most in the NFL and behind only Chicago (nine) and Tampa Bay (eight).  Patriots are averaging 34 points per game.  The Jaguars will have to throw a lot in order to keep up.

“Bortles definitely has a real good command of the offense that Olson is running. I think the controlled passing game along with letting him use his big-arm ability to get the ball down the field has benefited Bortles quite a bit,” Patricia said. “He’s a big guy in the pocket but he’s a very athletic guy. So he’s a guy that can run. He’s a guy that can scramble. He’s a guy that can extend plays. You use it a lot, especially on third down, where he can slip out of the pass rush and either extend the play and get the ball down field or just take off and run. He obviously has the ability to do that, too.”
