Tyrann Mathieu Defends Mac Jones During Conversation With Nick Wright

To Nick Wright’s chagrin, Tyrann Mathieu remains a big Mac Jones fan.

Wright, a consistent Jones hater, is among those who believe Monday night’s game in Buffalo offered further evidence of the Patriots not believing in the rookie quarterback. Jones only threw three passes in New England’s 14-10 win over the Bills.

Well, Mathieu pushed back against Wright’s anti-Jones narrative during an FS1 appearance Thursday. The Kansas City Chiefs safety previously tweeted in support of the Patriots signal-caller.

“For me, he’s just fundamentally (sound),” Mathieu said during Thursday’s “First Things First” episode.
