It’s not challenging to identify what the New England Patriots haven’t done well in the first two weeks of the season. In fact, the Patriots haven’t done it all. Quarterback Mac Jones has not thrown the ball downfield.
It’s easy to imagine coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels have elected to coach Jones to take the easy completion at this point in his young career. So that’s what he’s doing, rather than end up like New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, who had an ugly four-interception game on Sunday.
