Dion Lewis and Danny Amendola both claim touchdowns while Stephen Gostkowski adds two field goals to give New England Patriots a healthy lead over Jacksonville Jaguars.

Stephen Gostkowski's two field goals have helped New England Patriots into a 17-point lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Super Bowl champions started brightly at Gillette Stadium as Tom Brady went to Rob Gronkowski, who picked up 53 yards from his first two catches.

New England opening the scoring thanks a short touchdown run from running back Dion Lewis.

After Gronkowski was penalised for offensive pass interference, Gostkowski increased the Patriots' lead with a 46-yard field goal.

The Jags, who are tied at the top of the AFC South with the Tennessee Titans, responded with a field goal of their own through Jason Myers from 40 yards.

However, New England restored their 10-point lead with another field goal before a late Brady touchdown pass to Danny Amendola increased their lead further.
