Report: The Patriots are playing Mac Jones because Bailey Zappe and Will Grier are viewed as ‘unfit’

Mac Jones has created more points for Patriots opponents than he has for New England over the last three weeks.

He hasn’t thrown a touchdown since the Jets game. He’s had a pair of interceptions and a fumble returned for touchdowns since then.

So far, the plan is for Jones to remain New England’s starting quarterback. But, according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, that plan may not last much longer.

Callahan writes that the main reason the Patriots are sticking with Jones is that they don’t believe enough in his backups to make a switch.
