Julian Edelman Explains Ripping Mac Jones, Patriots’ ‘Rules’

Mac Jones had a sophomore season from hell, amplifying his own mistakes and misfortunes by throwing temper tantrums on the New England Patriots sideline.

Outbursts in the direction of offensive play-caller Matt Patricia became common over the course of a disappointing season, as Jones became the poster boy for an offense that was defined by regression. Those fits of rage drew responses from Patriots of the past, who made it very clear how they felt about the young QB seemingly showing up his head coach.

Chief among those ex-Patriots was Julian Edelman, who ripped Jones for his “pissy” faces following the season’s low point, a last-second loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
