Mac Jones’ return to the New England Patriots didn’t go smoothly.<\/p>\n
Jones threw a bad interception and early in the second quarter, he was replaced by rookie Bailey Zappe. There were reports that Bill Belichick planned to play both quarterbacks on Monday night, but Jones’ early struggles might have sped up the decision to get Zappe in the game.<\/p>\n
Zappe immediately drove the Patriots downfield on his first possession and threw a 30-yard touchdown to a wide-open Jakobi Meyers. For the fans who wanted Zappe, they had validation.<\/p>\n
