Mac Jones takes the blame for Patriots’ season-opening loss to the Eagles

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones had his fifth 300-yard passing game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He also tossed three touchdowns in the same game for just the fourth time in his career.

While the box score may have hinted that Jones had an impressive start to the season, the quarterback felt differently.

It started early on Sunday, as the Patriots found themselves in an all too familiar hole trailing 16-0. It was a result of what Jones described as poor plays from himself.

“I really didn’t throw any good passes on the first drive,” Jones said postgame.
