Patriots OC Bill O’Brien expects Mac Jones to start against Bills

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien expects quarterback Mac Jones to start on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

Jones is coming off a rough outing against the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday. He threw for only 200 yards and an interception on the afternoon. The New England offense moved the ball a bit better than in previous games, but they still ended up losing by a 21-17 margin.

Jones has had his struggles so far this season. The quarterback has thrown for 1,208 yards, five touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2023.

His 75.3 quarterback rating on Sunday was a step up from his previous two games. He tallied a 30.5 quarterback rating against the New Orleans Saints and a 39.9 quarterback rating against the Dallas Cowboys.

Nevertheless, O’Brien anticipates New England will stick with him as the starter against the Bills on Sunday, as transcribed by NESN.com’s Dakota Randall.

New England has clearly had struggles at the quarterback position. But even with all of the current issues, Jones may be the best available option for them right now.
