Jack Jones made his first NFL start on Sunday and made it a memorable one when he recorded an interception against Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, closing out the first half by returning the interception for a touchdown.
It was the first interception of his career, yet he felt entirely disrespected about the play in general. Speaking to the media this week, Jones said it was “disrespectful” for Rodgers to throw an out route in his direction.
“Personally, I find it disrespectful to throw an out route on me,” Jones said, via Patriots Country. “If you can get the ball outside of me, I’m no good.”
Aside from his interception, Jones had seven total tackles, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.
Rodgers completed 21 of 35 passes for 251 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday’s 27-24 overtime win over the Patriots.
