Chris Long’s take on Mac Jones and the Patriots: Though the Patriots came up short against the Eagles in Sunday’s 25-20 season-opening defeat, the team’s performance — specifically that of Mac Jones — has drawn a few plaudits.
Former Patriots defensive lineman Chris Long was impressed. During a Monday interview with The Rich Eisen Show, Long shared his thoughts on both his former teams (he also played with Philadelphia following his one year stint in New England). Regarding the Patriots specifically, Long was cautiously optimistic.
“From the Patriots’ side, I think you’ve got to come away a little bit encouraged,” said Long.
