Michael Irvin blasts Patriots coaching staff over Mac Jones' struggles

Who's to blame for the New England Patriots' recent struggles on offense? If you ask Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, it isn't Mac Jones.

While Jones' stats aren't pretty -- four touchdown passes and seven interceptions in six games with a 76.0 passer rating that ranks 33rd among 35 qualified NFL quarterbacks -- he's also had to adapt to a new system under first-time offensive play-caller Matt Patricia.

That system isn't running very smoothly, as ESPN's Dan Orlovsky explained this week during an eye-opening segment on "NFL Live."

After watching Orlovsky's video, Irvin is putting Jones' second-year slump on New England's coaching staff rather than on the QB himself.
