The Patriots called for Zappe Hour on their final drive in Sunday’s game against the Colts in Germany.
New England benched Mac Jones in the last drive of its 10-6 loss to Indianapolis, putting Bailey Zappe in when it got the ball back with 1:52 remaining. The Patriots’ decision to pull Jones came after the quarterback threw his first interception of the game, drastically underthrowing Mike Gesicki when they had the ball at the Colts’ 15-yard line with 4:24 remaining.
When Zappe took over, the Patriots got the ball back following a Colts punt at their 14-yard line with no timeouts.
