Patriots' Mac Jones keeps 'kid-like joy' of football by mentoring young QBs

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When New England Patriots players have gathered behind the scenes this season and the conversations shifted from the finer details of each week’s game plan to bigger-picture thoughts, quarterback Mac Jones says a notable theme has emerged.

“We’re talking about legacy around our building a lot here,” he said. “I think we’ve done a good job this year of playing for something more than yourself. It can be a person, a group of people, or what you’re passionate about.”

It has been a challenging season for the 7-7 Patriots, who endured a heartbreaking defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders Sunday when they shockingly lateraled the game away in the final seconds.
