There was no Mac Jones on the field for the New England Patriots on Sunday. Yet, it was an ugly, messy and just flat-out disappointing showing for the Patriots, who started Bailey Zappe at quarterback for the first time this season.
Look, Zappe wasn’t great under center for most of the game. He missed some throws and failed to put together a scoring drive. But this loss also isn’t on the second-year quarterback, who seemed to come alive a bit in the second half.
Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack wreaked havoc on the Patriots’ offensive line throughout the game.
