Bailey Zappe replaces Mac Jones, throws TD pass

Mac Jones returned for the New England Patriots on Monday.

He threw an interception and Bailey Zappe replaced the former No. 1 pick from Alabama.

Zappe had the crowd at Gillette Stadium roaring when he took the field and it only got louder when he connected with Jakobi Meyers for a dazzling 30-yard touchdown play.

Meyers was wide-open but had to adjust to the pass and went to the ground. Before he was touched by a Chicago Bear he was up and lunged into the end zone for the score.

After the PAT, the Patriots trailed, 10-7.
