New England battered the overmatched Jaguars in a 28-3 rout in the first round. Brady tied a playoff career high with three touchdown passes and Willie McGinest set NFL postseason marks with 4 ½ sacks and 16 for his career. Asante Samuel was particularly active with a 73-yard interception return early in the fourth quarter that clinched it for the Patriots.
