Mac Jones talks benching against Dallas, message to Bailey Zappe, and more on WEEI

Patriots QB Mac Jones appeared on WEEI’s “Jones & Mego” show on Monday evening, touching on a variety of topics including his benching against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and New England’s slew of injuries on defense.

Here are a few highlights from Jones’ extended radio interview:

Jones talks benching

Jones’ and the Patriots offense hit a new low during Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys, with Jones getting the hook in the third quarter after New England fell into a 31-3 hole.

Jones’ own play contributed to yet another steep deficit for New England, with the QB completing just 12 of his 20 passes for 150 yards and getting knocked for two interceptions and a fumble — with two of those turnovers directly leading to Dallas touchdowns.
