Through a turbulent time, Mac Jones has kept his focus, according to coaches and teammates

FOXBOROUGH — For the better part of a month, the big question around these parts was “Who is going to play quarterback this week?”

With that answered, offensive play-caller Matt Patricia shed some light on his relationship with Mac Jones and how a lot of their conversations start with another question: “Why?”

Like a lot of younger players, Jones likes to go deep into why certain schemes are run and plays are called.

“I think [knowing why] is an important thing for all players,” said Patricia, whose voice is literally in Jones’s head on game days when he sends in the calls.
