We've seen glimpses of what this team can do when they're clicking on all cylinders like they did for the first three quarters in the Buffalo game last week. Now the New England Patriots face an opponent not too many people outside of Florida would take seriously. The Jacksonville Jaguars are a better team than people give credit for and are likely a 7 or 8-win team this year and a year away from contending in their own division. With the opportunity to use the game as a measuring stick, I'd expect the Jaguars to bring their A Game on Sunday. Here's what the Patriots need to do in order to beat the Jaguars to move up to 3-0 on the season.
Patriots’ injury report:

Jaguars could be without six starters vs. Patriots

Three starters -- left tackle Luke Joeckel (ankle), guard Brandon Linder (shoulder) and safety Johnathan Cyprien (calf) -- will be game-day decisions. Coach Gus Bradley says all three will be re-evaluated after Sunday morning warmups. They were listed as questionable on the injury report Friday.
Two starters, defensive end Andre Branch (knee) and tight end Julius Thomas (hand), were ruled out. So was backup cornerback Dwayne Gratz (ankle).
Starting defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks (knee) and backup running back Denard Robinson (knee) are unlikely to play. Both were listed as doubtful.
Fellow running back Toby Gerhart practiced in full for the first time in more than a month Thursday and was listed as probable.
