Throwing the ball to the other team is becoming a common theme for New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones.
After turning the ball over three times last week against the Dallas Cowboys, Jones was at it once again in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints, throwing a pick-six into the awaiting arms of Saints defensive back Tyrann Mathieu.
Buy Patriots TicketsIt’s a nightmare start to a game many called the most important in Jones’ career.
He was benched after last week’s turnover spree for backup quarterback Bailey Zappe. There was hope that game would light a fire under him for a strong bounce-back performance against the Saints. But so far, it’s just been more of the same from the former first-round draft pick out of Alabama.

It didn’t take long for the Zappe chants to start echoing throughout Gillette Stadium. Here’s what Patriots Twitter is saying about another pick-six from Jones.
Please cut Mac Jones.

Why do the Patriots still play Mac Jones? Are they tanking for Caleb?

This will be my last game watching Mac Jones as QB. He has no heart, no brains, and no nerve. He’s pathetic. Bill is just as pathetic for sticking with him

This team is horrible. Mac Jones is not the guy. Belichick getting JuJu was a horrible decision

Can’t wait to watch Mac Jones tear it up for the Toronto Argonauts next year

Needed a bye week QB and put faith in Mac Jones.
I’ll never forgive that man send him to the CFL.— quill ⚡️ (@_JoniQuill) October 8, 2023
I blame @hen_ease for getting me to believe in Mac Jones. He was never the guy

Mac Jones is garbage. Belichick should’ve taken my advice and started Zappe.

Damn Mac Jones sucks
— Sean (@SeanyBeef) October 8, 2023
The Patriots coaching staff deserves most of this blame. Belichick ruined a promising rookie.
A “QB Controversy” wasn’t what Mac Jones needed last season.
