Rex Ryan hasn’t been the biggest fan of Mac Jones this season, but the former Jets and Bills coach changed his tune on the rookie following the Patriots’ loss to the Colts on Saturday.
Jones and the Patriots were able to make things interesting, scoring 17 straight points in the fourth quarter after going down 20-0. The Colts scored a touchdown on the drive after the Patriots made it 20-17, giving Indianapolis a 27-17 lead as Jones’s efforts ended up being too little, too late.
But the fact that Jones was able to help make it a one-score game after being down by such a large deficit is what impressed Ryan.
