The Patriots’ offensive struggles this season continued into the team’s Week 10 game against the Colts in Frankfurt. And after a brutal first three-plus quarters for quarterback Mac Jones, New England opted to make the change to backup signal-caller Bailey Zappe.
This move came with the Patriots down just 10-6 after Jones threw an interception with 4:24 remaining in the fourth quarter. So this meant Zappe entered with just under two minutes to go and a chance to play the role of saving grace.
