After making a significant change ahead of Week 13, the Patriots started to look like a different team.
New England finally pulled the plug on Mac Jones after its Week 12 road loss to the New York Giants dropped its record to 2-9 on the season. While Bailey Zappe didn’t come out of the gate firing after replacing Jones, the Patriots offense certainly has looked better with the sophomore signal-caller under center. New England currently is 2-2 this season in games Zappe started, including Sunday’s impressive road win over a Denver Broncos team that was fighting for its playoff life.
