New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien praised quarterback Mac Jones for his attitude after taking a backseat to Bailey Zappe.
Zappe has started in the last four games for the Patriots and has gone 2-2 while under center. He is coming off a 26-23 victory over the Denver Broncos on Christmas Eve, when he threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns.
Jones was once heralded as the future for New England. The 2021 first-round draft pick has seen his stock take quite the hit. He has been benched in multiple games this season and has not played since November 26 against the New York Giants.
