Mac Jones’ homecoming was one to forget. The New England Patriots’ rookie quarterback and Florida native lost his first ever NFL game in his home state 33-24 to the Miami Dolphins.
Along the way, Jones had his hand on two of the Patriots’ three turnovers. The youngster threw an interception in the first quarter that was returned for a touchdown; he also fumbled a snap in the third quarter to end a promising drive in Miami territory.
It was no surprise that Jones was harsh on himself after the game.
“We just need to execute better and that starts with me, just in practice, in the game,” he said.
