Sunday Patriots Notes: Is New England better than its record suggests?

head into their Week 13 game against the Los Angeles Chargers (-4.5) all eyes are once again at the quarterback position. The expectation is that Mac Jones, the team’s starter since his arrival as a first-round draft pick in 2021, will not be the first man up on Sunday: second-year backup Bailey Zappe will instead replace the struggling starter, with rookie Malik Cunningham also possibly playing a role.

Naturally, most of our attention over the course of the last week was centered on the development at that position and the upcoming game against the visiting Chargers.
