Key Patriots Continue Support For Mac Jones Despite Struggles

Mac Jones struggled once again for the New England Patriots on Sunday with a 34-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

The third-year quarterback went 12-for-22 with 100 passing yards and two interceptions. For the second straight week, Bailey Zappe replaced Jones in the second half.

Despite his major struggles in back-to-back blowout losses, multiple teammates still voiced their public support of Jones.

After his first interception, New England captain and defensive end Deatrich Wise took time on the sideline to encourage his quarterback.

“It was just some words of encouragement,” Wise told reporters after the game, per a team-provided video.
