The New England Patriots are continuing to get ready for the Detroit Lions this weekend, with Bill Belichick’s team trying to avoid their third straight loss after dropping two straight against Baltimore and Green Bay these last two weeks.
The biggest challenge heading into Sunday will again be the fact the club will likely be without Mac Jones for another week as he continues recovering from the ankle injury he suffered against Baltimore. Last Sunday saw back-up quarterback Brian Hoyer go down just 10 minutes into the contest, which thrust rookie Bailey Zappe into the line-up.
