General guidance: Parking and shuttle access depend on the team’s current game-day rules

Getting There
JTA Gameday Xpress shuttle
Best for fans who want to avoid stadium parking and still keep a simple round-trip plan.
The Jaguars say the shuttle runs for all 2026 home games from Lot S, Lot X, Lot Z, Met Park and Old Cypress Lot, with pickup/drop-off near each lot entrance. For this game, JTA lists boarding beginning at 11:00 a.m. for the 1:00 p.m. kickoff, free service for ticketed fans, and suspension at kickoff until the game ends; return service resumes after the game, with the last bus leaving one hour after the final whistle.
Transportation detailsPark-and-ride via Kings Avenue Parking Garage
Good for fans coming from elsewhere in Jacksonville who want a remote lot instead of stadium parking.
JTA says Gameday Xpress serves round-trip riders from park-and-ride lots, including Kings Avenue Parking Garage, 1201 Kings Ave., Jacksonville, FL 32207. Riders board there and are taken to the JTA service lot adjacent to the East gates at EverBank Stadium.

Useful if you want a direct exit plan after walking out of the stadium.
The Jaguars designate Beaver Street near Lot Z as the rideshare pickup area. Fans are told to leave via the west side of the stadium, especially Gate 1 or the Gallagher West Club Gate, to reach it most directly; east-side fans can cross the concourse and exit via the Grand Staircases or Ramp 2.

Final
Final score and recap
New England Patriots 6, Jacksonville Jaguars 35
The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the New England Patriots 35-6 on September 27, handing New England a one-sided Week 3 loss at EverBank Stadium. The strongest explanation in the box score is the difference in finishing and ball security: Jacksonville produced five touchdowns, while the Patriots did not reach the end zone and had three documented giveaways. New England generated some passing gains, but those yards never became more than two field goals. After a scoreless first quarter, Jacksonville held a 14-3 advantage in second-quarter scoring. The Jaguars added 14 unanswered points in the third and won the fourth quarter 7-3. That produced a 29-point final margin, with New England held to three points in each half. Because no play-by-play evidence was supplied, the individual scoring sequence and the possessions that led to those points cannot be established from the record. Drake Maye completed 14 of 25 passes for 199 yards, averaging 8.0 yards per attempt, but he threw no touchdown passes and two interceptions. He also was sacked three times for 11 yards and recorded two fumbles, one of which was lost. Those mistakes gave New England three documented giveaways from its primary quarterback. Maye added 18 rushing yards on four attempts, but his 48.6 passer rating and 22.5 QBR reflect how little the passing yardage ultimately produced. There were useful individual receiving performances despite the lack of touchdowns. Mack Hollins led the Patriots with six catches for 87 yards on nine targets, including a 21-yard long reception. Romeo Doubs caught three passes for 49 yards, while DeMario Douglas had one 38-yard reception and Kyle Williams added a 34-yard catch. The running game offered little balance: TreVeyon Henderson gained 23 yards on eight carries, and Rhamondre Stevenson had 22 on seven attempts. Neither scored, and their longest runs were five yards. Jacksonville received a much more productive quarterback performance from Trevor Lawrence. He completed 19 of 29 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception, one sack taken and a 102.9 passer rating. His touchdown total was the major contrast with Maye’s line even though Maye recorded more passing yards. Jakobi Meyers caught seven passes for 64 yards and a touchdown, Parker Washington had three catches for 40 yards and a score, and Josh Cameron turned his lone reception into a 12-yard touchdown. The Jaguars also had the stronger rushing production. Bhayshul Tuten carried 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown, while Chris Rodriguez Jr. added 37 yards and a touchdown on eight attempts. Lawrence contributed another 25 yards on four carries. Those supplied rushing lines total 135 yards before Ameer Abdullah’s two yards, compared with 83 yards across the listed New England rushers. The contrast was not merely volume: Jacksonville’s two rushing touchdowns complemented Lawrence’s three scoring passes, whereas the Patriots had no rushing or receiving touchdown. New England did make one impact play in the turnover column. Marcus Jones intercepted Lawrence and returned the ball 12 yards; he also recorded three passes defended and four tackles. Carlton Davis III led the Patriots with eight tackles, including seven solo, and added a tackle for loss and a pass defended. Gabe Jacas and Elijah Ponder each recorded half a sack and two quarterback hits. Still, Jacksonville’s 35 points show that the interception and limited pressure were not enough to contain its scoring output. Special teams supplied all of New England’s points. Andy Borregales made two of three field-goal attempts, with a long of 40 yards, accounting for the Patriots’ six points. Mitch Wishnowsky averaged 53.0 yards on two punts, hit a long of 73 and placed one inside the 20, though one punt was a touchback. Williams returned five kickoffs for 105 yards, with a long of 31. The useful takeaway is not that New England failed to move the ball at all; Maye threw for 199 yards, and four Patriots produced receptions of at least 21 yards. The larger problem was that the offense combined no touchdowns with two interceptions, a lost fumble and three sacks of Maye. Jacksonville paired three touchdown passes with two rushing scores and spread those touchdowns among five players. From the evidence of this game alone, New England’s most urgent issues were protecting possession, creating more dependable rushing production and converting its passing gains into touchdowns.
- Drake Maye threw for 199 yards but finished with no touchdowns, two interceptions, three sacks taken and one lost fumble.
- Mack Hollins led New England with six receptions for 87 yards, while the Patriots’ rushing leaders combined for only 45 yards.
- Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes, and Jacksonville added rushing scores from Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr.
