This Stat Might Surprise Even Mac Jones’ Most Ardent Supporters

Mac Jones’ second season with the Patriots didn’t go the way he or the team wanted.

Pro-Bailey Zappe New Englanders don’t need to tell you that; Jones himself said it after Sunday’s season-ending road loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 24-year-old played well in the season finale, throwing for 243 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions, but was emotional and self-critical during his postgame news conference.

Jones regressed in virtually every statistical category this season, largely due to the overall struggles of the Patriots offense. However, as pointed out by Mark Daniels of MassLive, there’s one Jones stat through two seasons that’s hard to argue with.
