Quarterback Mac Jones once again had an abysmal week, completing just 12 of his 21 attempts for a mere 89 yards in the New England Patriots' 10-7 loss to the New York Giants. After two interceptions and a fumble, the third-year QB was benched for the second time in two weeks, leading to Bailey Zappe taking over the offense.

Jones is off to a career-worst season, posting only 2,120 passing yards on a 64.
