The Patriots have had a disastrous season, as third-year quarterback Mac Jones has struggled through the first ten games. The low point appeared to be during New England’s last game against the Colts, when Jones threw a game-losing interception in the Red Zone, leading to head coach Bill Belichick benching Jones for backup Bailey Zappe to end the game.
New England is coming off their bye week and is set to play the Giants this week, but there is no guarantee that Jones will get the start. At his press conference on Tuesday, Belichick declined to say who will start for New England on Sunday.
“I’ve told all the players the same thing, be ready to go,” Belichick said, “Hopefully they will be.”
