Rookie Patriots quarterback Mac Jones threw for his first touchdown in the second quarter of Sunday’s season opener against the Dolphins, and teammates seemed to think Jones — understandably — might want the ball.
Apparently, Jones did not. As teammates tried to pass it to him, he handed it back twice as he jogged to the bench, where he plopped down and began breathing.
The touchdown came with 2:30 remaining in the first half. Jones ran a play-action and dropped back to his left. As the Dolphins closed in, he fired to Nelson Agholor near the 3-yard line.
