Patriots Mailbag: What Mac Jones Must Do Vs. Raiders To Keep Job

Is this a make-or-break week for Mac Jones? Is Bill Belichick’s successor already in-house? Was effort lacking during the New England Patriots’ worst two-game stretch of the Belichick era?

We’re answering those questions and more in this week’s Patriots mailbag.

How long till Mac Jones is riding pine?
This Sunday’s game in Las Vegas feels like the last stand for ol’ McCorkle. He needs to show the Patriots something in order to justify keeping his job.

In my view, a passable performance will be enough to achieve that. Jones doesn’t need to go out there and throw for 350 yards and three touchdowns.
