FOXBORO -- The Patriots offense came away from Tuesday's practice able to take a deep breath. With a couple days before their first preseason game against the Giants, they were able to put together a representative practice.
There was some consistency in both the run and passing games. Mac Jones was protected for a reasonable period of time behind center. It wasn't explosive. It wasn't even machine-like. But it wasn't what they cobbled together on Monday, when even backup quarterback Brian Hoyer admitted the performance on that side of the ball was embarrassing.
