Robert Kraft was in high spirits as he toasted tequila with Patriots fans before Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London.

The Patriots owner, 83, appeared at the Greenwood Sports Pub and Kitchen on Saturday, where he praised his team's London fan base while addressing the crowd via a microphone, as seen in a video obtained exclusively by The Post received.

“We drove to dinner and I was so inspired by all of you,” Kraft said as legions of fans captured the moment on their phones.

“Let’s have a shot of tequila… I want to thank you all!”

Then power surged as the crowd went wild.

“You are great! Please bring this spirit onto the field tomorrow,” he said before fist pumping some fans.

Fanatics founder Michael Rubin, standing behind Kraft at the bar, threw back a shot.

In another clip obtained by The Post, fans were heard chanting Kraft's name in a song.

Things are likely to be bleak on Sunday after New England suffered its sixth straight loss to the Jaguars.

Jacksonville was able to control the ball better and scored four goals in a row after an early 10-0 deficit.

Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye went 26 of 37 for 276 yards and two touchdowns in his second career start.

First-year head coach Jerod Mayo called his team “soft” after the game.

“Back to the drawing board,” Mayo said. “We can’t sit here and sulk.”

Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who parted ways with the team in January after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl victories, disagreed with Mayo's comments.

“A lot of the same (last year's players) … I kind of feel bad for these guys because to call them soft, they're not soft,” Belichick said during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday.

“Last year they were the best team in the league against the run… I feel bad for the defensive players… This is a tough group.”

The Jets (2-5) face the Patriots (1-6) on Sunday in Foxborough.
