JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – safety is questionable for the AFC Championship Game with a right foot injury, but coach Doug Marrone is optimistic that he could be available to play Sunday against the.

It is worth noting Hoyer is the only backup quarterback the Patriots have on their roster.

Yet those that believe the Jaguars have no chance of dethroning the Patriots point emphatically at their quarterback, Blake Bortles, who was the third overall selection in the 2014 National Football League draft. “He just hates that gnat just always around”, said Dareus, who might be more familiar than any Jacksonville player with Brady, having spent six-plus seasons with the Bills. I’m not sure Jaguars QB Blake Bortles can lead a game-winning drive in the closing minutes like Eli Manning did in two Super Bowls against New England, but he will get that chance.

He didn’t require any surgery, and despite the health issue, Brady didn’t falter through the second half of the season, finishing the year with 4,343 passing yards for 25 touchdowns with a completion rate of 60.51 percent.

This game morphed from an eye-roller to the can’t miss game of the week. The upstart Jaguars get 14 points off two takeaways and Leonard Fournette rushes for 119 yards. Whether I do or I don’t, that’s not really up to me. We are playing against a really good team that is good in all phases. If they need me, I’ll be ready.

“This is the best team we’ve seen all year”, Patriots guard Joe Thuney said.

The reigning Most Valuable Player for Super Bowl 2017 has remained silent regarding the his injury.

“Multiple private sources telling me …”

The New England Patriots’ superstar quarterback, Tom Brady, injured his right throwing hand at Wednesday’s practice – a blood-gushing cut on the thumb that required stitches, according to NFL Network.

Question: Tom, how’s your hand? .

‘I was out there, ‘ Brady said when asked if he was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

Thumbs up or thumbs down for Sunday?

“I’m not talking about that”.

You can be sure Bill Belichick shared that quote once or twice with his team this week.

Hoyer started his career as an undrafted free agent with the Patriots in 2009. That could be perceived as a sign that the Patriots don’t view Brady’s availability as being in doubt.

Brady has a hard challenge ahead of him facing arguably the best defense in the league that finished first against the pass. Jacksonville only allowed 16.8 points per game during the regular season, ranking them as the No. 2 unit in the league.
