Mac Jones sets career-high for passing yards on Thanksgiving for Patriots

Despite a loss, Mac Jones had the best performance of the season for the New England Patriots.

He faced the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday for Thanksgiving and showed why the Patriots took him at No. 15 in the 2021 NFL Draft from the University of Alabama.

Jones battled an ankle injury and got benched for Bailey Zappe, but he showed off his arm strength and accuracy versus the Vikings. He recorded a career-high for passing yards (382) and totaled two touchdowns. Jones completed 71.8 percent of his passes (28-for-39), had a passer rating of 119.8, a quarterback rating of 56.
