The New England Patriots got a beatdown provided by the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night, but anyone disparaging Mac Jones because of it is simply wrong. I previously wrote about the struggles that rookie QBs have in the playoffs, and what we are forgetting is that it’s not all about the quarterback.
Jones had virtually no help from anyone else on the team. The defense got shredded all over the field, the special teams outside of Nick Folk was subpar, and even his receivers dropped some catchable balls.
One thing to remember about winning — especially in the playoffs — is that the quarterback cannot do it by himself.
