Jakobi Meyers: Mac Jones ‘definitely kicked it up a little bit’ in preparation for game vs. Jets

Mac Jones’s return to the field following a three-game absence due to an ankle injury didn’t go the way anyone on the Patriots would’ve liked it to have gone.

The Patriots quarterback led the team to two straight three-and-out drives before throwing an interception on his third drive. To make matters worse, Jones was getting booed by his home fans as they chanted for backup Bailey Zappe to enter the game, which happened following the interception in what ended up being a 33-14 loss for the Patriots against the Bears.

Jones will get the start against the Jets on Sunday, and according to wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, he looks ready to turn the page.
