Patriots Not Committing To Mac Jones After Bye Week

Patriots Not Committing To Mac Jones After Bye Week

12 months ago

When asked if New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is still the team's starter, head coach Bill Belichick said, "We have a lot of things to work on this week as a team. We'll work through those. That is what we are going to do this week." The Patriots will evaluate their whole roster heading into a Week 11 bye after losing three straight games. The 25-year-old Jones is having a disaster of a season in his third year, completing 65.4% of his 324 pass attempts for 2,,031 yards, 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for a career-low 80.2 QB rating. The Pats benched Jones in favor of Bailey Zappe in the final two minutes of Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany. Jones's 10 picks are tied for second-most in the NFL, while his 6.3 yards per attempt is third-worst in the NFL. Zappe or Will Grier could get the nod in Week 12 against the New York Giants on Nov. 26.
