When Mac Jones entered the game last night, he was greeted with thunderous cheers from the Patriots crowd.
Jones completed 13-of-19 passes for 87 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in his first NFL game against Washington. He appeared in 5 full series that produced 2 field goals and 3 punts.

Of Jones’ overall performance commanding the offense, Bill Belichick said: “Some good things, some things we can improve on. That’s true for everybody.”
