Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien says he still feels good about Mac Jones

It’s been a month since Mac Jones lost his spot as Patriots starting quarterback to Bailey Zappe after being benched at halftime of a loss to the Giants in Week 12.

The offense has been more efficient without Jones, and that has helped win games. The Patriots have won two of Zappe’s four starts; Jones had the same number of wins in 11 starts. The Patriots scored 20 points or more twice under Jones. They’ve done it twice in the past three weeks under Zappe.

It’s unclear what Jones’s role will be going forward.
