Jakobi Meyers explains why Patriots believe in Mac Jones

FOXBOROUGH — It’s been a turbulent second season for Mac Jones.

The Patriots quarterback has battled a pair of injuries — one sidelined him for a month — and been booed off the field by his home crowd just three series into his return to action. While many were hoping for a step forward in Year 2, it’s yet to happen due to a myriad of things.

But behind closed doors, Jones’ teammates have held a steadfast belief in him. On Friday afternoon, Jakobi Meyers explained that the Patriots saw his fight on display in a hard-fought 22-17 win over the Jets in the Meadowlands.
