BOSTON -- The Patriots are out of preseason tune-ups. Unfortunately, the offense looks like they could use a few more.
Mac Jones and New England's offensive starters played into the second quarter of Friday night's third and final preseason game against the Raiders in Las Vegas. Starters usually don't play that much in the final preseason tilt, but the Patriots offense has needed every rep they can get ahead of the regular season.
That extra playing time on Friday night almost seemed like a punishment handed out by Bill Belichick. The offense's night started with a three-and-out, which ended when Jones was sacked for a 13-yard loss on third down.
