FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quarterback Mac Jones' rookie growing pains are showing up at a tough time for the New England Patriots.
Jones finished 14-of-32 for 145 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 33-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots have sputtered in each of the last two weeks since their bye, with Jones failing to find the rhythm he had exhibited more consistently during the team's prior seven-game win streak.
"There's no excuses, and there's really nothing to talk about. I didn't play great," said Jones, who finished with a 31.
