FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones threw his first career touchdown pass, connecting with wide receiver Nelson Agholor on a 7-yard score with 2:35 remaining in the second quarter of the team's home game against the Miami Dolphins.
The quick-strike, play-action pass continued a notable theme for the 2021 first-round draft pick from the University of Alabama. According to ESPN's Stats & Information, Jones was 5-of-5 on play-action passing at that point in the game. Jones had faked to running back Damien Harris, then turned quickly to his left and found the in-cutting Agholor at the 3-yard line, and Agholor ran into the end zone untouched.
