FOXBORO, Mass. — The chants for Bailey Zappe that rang through Gillette Stadium during that Monday night loss to the Chicago Bears did not sit well with Mac Jones’ favorite target.
And Jakobi Meyers still hasn’t forgotten them.
Asked during the Patriots’ locker cleanout what he learned about Jones in their second season together, Meyers again referenced thousands of New England fans calling for the quarterback’s backup. The wide receiver reiterated how proud he was of Jones for the way he handled that impossible situation.
“Not anything I necessarily learned, but just things he continued to prove,” Meyers said Monday, one day after the Patriots’ season ended with a 35-23 loss in Buffalo.
