Welcome to the Unconventional Review, an instant reaction to standouts, stats, and story lines from the Patriots’ most recent game . . .
The contrast in performance between Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones in the Patriots’ playoff-clinching 50-10 rout of the Jaguars Sunday also stood as yet another reminder of how fortunate a young quarterback is to play for Bill Belichick rather than against him.
This was Jones’s day to outshine his fellow rookie QB. After subpar performances in losses to the Colts and Bills, Jones was as sharp as he has been all season Sunday, completing 22 of 30 passes for 227 yards and 3 touchdowns.
