Josh McDaniels explains how Mac Jones is doing more to win games than meets the eye

Mac Jones underwhelmed on third-and-21 in the fourth quarter against the Tennessee Titans. He dropped off a short pass to receiver Jakobi Meyers for seven yards. It was a perfectly forgettable play, one that won’t make any highlight reels.

The Patriots had just intercepted quarterback Ryan Tannehill and were leading 13 points. A touchdown would end it. A field goal kept it a two-possession game — albeit two series which would have to end in a touchdown and a 2-point conversion. Josh McDaniels was pleased, however. He was happy to see Jones and the Patriots come away with a field goal.
