FOXBORO — The last time the Jaguars and Patriots faced off was in Week 3 of the 2015 season, a 51-17 Patriots blowout at Gillette Stadium. That Jaguars team didn’t have Leonard Fournette or Keelan Cole, the team's leading rusher and receiver this year, respectively.

Here's what you need to know about the Jaguars offensive weapons:

Blake Bortles 
Bortles threw for the least amount of yards this year (3,687) and touchdowns (21) since his rookie season in 2014. He completed 60.2% of his passes and threw 13 interceptions, but Bortles did get hot in the second half of the year. He posted three 300-yard passing games and threw nine touchdown passes in the last five weeks of the year. He's been turnover-free in the playoffs, throwing for two touchdowns and no picks, while rushing for 123 yards.

Leonard Fournette
Only a rookie, Fournette finished eighth in the NFL with 1,040 rushing yards while also adding 302 yards receiving on 36 catches. Fournette rushed for 109 yards in the Jaguars win over the Steelers in the Divisional Playoff.

T.J. Yeldon
Fournette is complemented by T.J. Yeldon, who rushed for 253 yards while averaging 5.2 yards per carry. He's also a weapon in the passing game. Yeldon had 30 receptions in the regular season and averaged 7.5 yards per catch. Yeldon missed the Wild Card game against the Bills with an illness, but had 77 total yards in the Jaguars win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Keelan Cole 
Cole hauled in 42 catches and three touchdowns in the regular season, finishing fourth among rookie receivers with 748 yards. Cole only had one catch in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh, but did have back-to-back 100-yard games in weeks 15 and 16.

Marqise Lee
Lee is the Jaguars second threat in the air behind Cole. Lee grabbed in 702 yards on 56 catches, but didn't have a stand-out game like Cole had. Lee's best game was a seven catch, 86 yard, one touchdown performance against Indianapolis in week 13.
