Mac Jones Throws for 87 Yards in Impressive Outing as Patriots Beat WFT in Preseason

Welcome to New England, Mac Jones.

The Patriots' first-round pick took the field in front of the home crowd for the first time as New England opened the preseason against the Washington Football Team with a 22-13 victory.

Even before taking a single snap, Jones, who replaced starter Cam Newton late in the first quarter, was embraced by the fans at Gillette Stadium.

He certainly didn't let them down. Even in limited action, Jones flashed the type of potential that made him the 15th pick in the spring.
