A lot has changed for Mac Jones and the Patriots since the day he arrived in New England.
They’re on their third offensive coordinator. Some of the pass-catchers and O-linemen are different. The defense arguably is better now than it was then. Even Gillette Stadium underwent a big makeover.
And yet, through three games, it’s hard to shake the feeling that things kinda feel the same. In particular, the Patriots’ start to the 2023 campaign feels eerily similar to the way things began in each of Jones’ first two seasons in Foxboro.
Just so you know, this isn’t going to be an overly scientific or analytics-driven analysis.
