As if losing seven games halfway through the season wasn’t enough for the New England Patriots. Now, the team is dealing with drama behind closed doors as well with cornerbacks J.C. Jackson and Jack Jones.
Both players reportedly missed curfew on Saturday and were benched in the early part of Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders. Jackson declined to speak with reporters after the game, while Jones left the building entirely before the media swarmed.
Things got even weirder after the benching with Jones liking a social media post that suggested he would have been better off pleading guilty, which is likely a reference to the gun charges he faced over the summer.
