New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones struggled during the 2022 season, taking a step back from his impressive 2021 rookie campaign that resulted in a Pro Bowl selection.
However, even when Jones struggled, the New England coaching staff was never too hard on the signal-caller, according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe:
"Belichick instructed the coaching staff not to be too hard on Jones last season, according to the same sources. If Jones made a mistake or needed to be corrected, instead of yelling at him, the coaching staff generally took a more constructive approach."
Jones led the Patriots to a 6-8 record last season and completed 65.
