Patriots quarterback Mac Jones appeared on WEEI’s “Jones & Mego” show on Tuesday, touching on a variety of topics including his latest benching against the Colts on Sunday and his future as the team’s starting quarterback.
Here are a few highlights from Jones’ extended radio interview:
No clarity on QB1 position
After yet another costly interception from Jones thwarted New England’s comeback bid against the Colts on Sunday, it remains to be seen if the third-year QB will throw another pass for the Patriots during the 2023 campaign.
Once Jones’ ill-advised throw off his back foot was plucked by Colts safety Julian Blackmon on the Indianapolis 2-yard line, Bill Belichick opted to bench Jones for the third time in 10 games this season — putting the ball in Bailey Zappe’s hands with under two minutes to go in regulation.
