Patriots vs. Colts rookie review: New England’s first-year players have an up-and-down day

For the fifth time in their careers in the NFL, the New England Patriots’ rookie players suffered a loss. Going up against the Indianapolis Colts on the road, the Patriots were beaten with a final score of 27-17. Four of the first-year players saw action in the contest, but their performances were quite uneven and not enough to help lift the team to an eight straight win.

With that said, let’s take a look at how the group fared — starting, of course, with Mac Jones.

QB Mac Jones

  • Offensive snaps: 68 of 68 (100%)
  • Special teams snaps: N/A

Mac Jones experiencing some rookie growing pains had to be expected, and he did just that on Saturday against the Colts.
