New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith has turned into a scapegoat after the team’s 28-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.
On the Patriots’ first drive of the second half, Smith was the intended target for a quick pass from Mac Jones, but the tight end stumbled and dropped the ball, tipping it into the air for safety Malcolm Jenkins to intercept the pass. Jenkins then returned the ball for a touchdown.
“Mac threw a catchable ball, Mac did everything right,” Smith said on Monday.
