The Jacksonville Jaguars captured the Belt Holders championship with a decisive 35-6 victory over the New England Patriots at EverBank Stadium. After a scoreless first quarter, Jacksonville's offense came alive in the second period with a pair of Trevor Lawrence touchdown passes—a 12-yarder to Josh Cameron and a 10-yarder to Jakobi Meyers—building a 14-3 halftime advantage.

Lawrence finished 19-of-29 for 182 yards with three touchdowns and one interception, spreading the ball effectively across his receiving corps. The Jaguars exploded in the third quarter with 14 more points, including a 17-yard Lawrence touchdown pass to Parker Washington and a 5-yard rushing score by Chris Rodriguez Jr. Bhayshul Tuten led the ground game with 73 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, while Meyers paced receivers with 7 catches for 64 yards.

New England managed only two Andy Borregales field goals despite Drake Maye throwing for 199 yards and Mack Hollins hauling in 6 catches for 87 yards. Maye's two interceptions hampered any comeback hopes. Defensively, Ventrell Miller led Jacksonville with 7 tackles while Carlton Davis III topped New England with 8. The Jaguars now carry the belt forward after their dominant performance.
