The New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> began the first of two joint practices with the New York Giants on the Gillette Stadium practice fields on Wednesday in some tough late summer heat.<\/p>\n

A notable storyline heading into the session was how would quarterback Mac Jones perform with starting quarterback reps due to the absence of Cam Newton over a “misunderstanding”<\/a> with COVID-19 protocols?<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Jones wound up taking full advantage of the newfound opportunity and put together his best outing of the summer, at one point even completing 14 consecutive passes against the Giants defense.<\/p>\n

The Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan shared more of his thoughts from day one over Twitter.<\/p>\n

\n

Mac Jones just completed 18 straight passes against the Giants in team drills around one "sack." His streak ended with a pass tipped at the ling of scrimmage<\/p>\n

He's 24-of-28 overall. He's taken two sacks, by my count. <\/p>\n

This has been his best practice as a Patriot.<\/p>\n
