Doug Pederson Takes Shot At Patriots Following Mac Jones’ Preseason Success

The Jacksonville Jaguars saw a different Mac Jones in the preseason than the one the New England Patriots grew accustom to over the last couple of years.

Jones turned in another standout performance in Friday's preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons and finished the exhibition slate completing 73.1% (38-of-52) of his passes for 421 yards and three touchdowns and no interceptions.

The secret to Jones' preseason success?

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson believes its ridding Jones of the bad habits he picked up with New England, which sure sounded like a shot at the Patriots for the botched development of the 2021 first-round pick.
