Mac Jones:

Ben Volin, who was in New York yesterday covering the NFL owner’s meeting and was sitting in the new Penn Station during the interview, made a significant claim which he said came from a DM coming off how his first assessment of Jones went.

With Mac Jones still sidelined with an injury, New England Patriots fans have been debating various stats, including little nuances within the offense where they believe one may excel over another.
