At some point, Mac Jones was going to throw the first, second, and third interceptions of his career.
Unfortunately for the Patriots, who lost to the Saints 28-13 on Sunday, Jones waited until Week 3 and then checked off all three.
Jones finished Sunday’s game 30-for-51 as a passer with 270 yards, and his first two interceptions were both costly.
The first came late in the second quarter. Facing heavy pressure near midfield, Jones tried to get the ball away but took a hit as he threw. P.J. Williams grabbed the fluttering ball and ran all the way to the 9-yard line before he was brought down.
