Blake Bortles looked like Tom Brady on Sunday. And Brady looked like Bortles.

The New England Patriots defense discussed Bortles’ outing when he led the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 31-20 win.

“He did a number on us,” Rowe told reporters after the game. “We didn’t really expect that — him to coming out and throwing like that. But we did expect their best shot, so it kind of wasn’t a surprise. We know Jacksonville doesn’t like us that much, and they kind of work extra hard on us. So it wasn’t a surprise, but he did have a good day.”

Bortles was 29 of 45 for 377 yards with four touchdown passes and an interception. He also rushed six times for 35 yards. That helped the Jaguars finish with 481 yards at 7 yards per play. He and the Jaguars were 2-for-3 on their red zone trips and had an absurd conversation rate on third down of 10-for-14.

“They kind of did what we thought they were going to do and just executed well. We didn’t get off the field,” safety Duron Harmon said Sunday. “We had them in third downs multiple times, and multiple times they picked it up. We just have to do a better job on third down and getting the offense off the field and everything will take care of itself. They just moved the ball. They had good, positive plays.”
