Jones Pushing Newton for Pats QB, New England Beats Giants

Mac Jones is really pushing Cam Newton for the New England Patriots' starting job at quarterback.

Jones, the first-round draft pick from Alabama, threw a touchdown pass and led three scoring drives as the Patriots capped a perfect preseason with a 22-20 victory over the winless New York Giants on Sunday night.

After the game, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said a decision has not been made on a starting quarterback.

“We still have a lot of decisions to make,” he said.

This one certainly won't be easy. Jones has gotten most of the action and hit 36 of 52 passes for 388 yards and a touchdown.
