NFL Week 16 - A quick peek at last weekend's Bills-Patriots boxscore paints an ugly picture for rookie quarterback Mac Jones. The Bills' pass defense held Jones to 14 completions on 32 passes for 4.5 yards per attempt, zero touchdowns, and two picks. Statistically speaking, only Jones' three-interception capitulation against the Saints in Week 3 can compare. It was bad.
A deeper dive into the film shows Jones was not solely at fault for how poorly the passing offense produced. It's not as though Jones made a string of questionable decisions or poor throws. Rather, the Bills put together and executed the perfect game plan to slow down the Patriots' somewhat-limited passing offense.
