Mac Jones:

If the New England Patriots hope to salvage their season, they’ll need to either go all in behind Mac Jones, or pray that Bailey Zappe just had an off night against Chicago on Monday because if not, Bill Belichick may end up with quite a problem on his hands.

It appears New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has the ball back in his hands after a report on Wednesday revealed he took 90% of the snaps in practice ahead of Sunday’s AFC East showdown against the Jets. Now he just needs to make sure it stays there.

The Patriots will turn to James Ferentz for Andrews, which will be a matchup against Williams that the Jets will look to exploit.

While New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will probably get booed the next time he takes the field, at least it won’t be by the home fans.

Any New England Patriots fan who watched Monday night’s game will likely have a tough time getting the scene that played out before them out of their memories.

Jakobi Meyers also made a fantastic catch for a 30-yard touchdown while wide-open on a badly underthrown pass.

Bill Belichick provides very little clarity regarding his quarterbacks following his team’s loss to the Chicago Bears.

It’s not often you see Bill Belichick make any egregious errors, but it’s safe to say that regardless of where you may fall on the Mac Jones vs Bailey Zappe debate, the future Hall of Fame head coach is probably sitting there this morning wishing he had handled things differently.

Heading into Monday night’s game, this is definitely an important start for New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones as he steps back under center for the first time in nearly a month after suffering an ankle injury against the Ravens back on September 25th.

While New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick spent most of this week downplaying who will be starting on Monday night against Chicago, it doesn’t change the fact the Bears seem to already have a plan in place against Mac Jones.

While Mac Jones’s status still remains in question heading into Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bears, there were some signs on Thursday that the second-year quarterback will indeed be the one lining up under center for the first time in nearly a month.

One player to watch is rookie WR Tyquan Thornton had seven touches (3 carries, 4 catches) in just 40 snaps and a pair of touchdowns last week 

Ben Volin doubled down on a claim about Mac Jones “needing to be humbled” during an interview with WEEI Wednesday, and ended up having to apologize Thursday after basing a follow up report off a bogus DM.

While ESPN may have released their promo graphic featuring Bailey Zappe and Matthew Judon leading up to the New England Patriots’ battle against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, it looks like there may potentially be a change coming to one of those names.
