As Bailey Zappe succeeds on the field, the fourth-round rookie has gotten plenty of help behind the scenes.
He prepared to be the Patriots starter leading up to the Lions game last week, and it wasn’t just his three-headed monster of offensive coaches — Bill Belichick, Matt Patricia and Joe Judge — that were giving him a hand, but Mac Jones has been aiding his teammate, too.
On WEEI’s Merloni, Fauria, and Mego Show Monday afternoon, Zappe said the incumbent quarterback was giving him “great answers” all week leading up to the 29-0 drubbing of Detroit.
