We’ll likely learn a lot about Mac Jones in the coming weeks.
Jones, who suffered a high-ankle sprain during New England’s week three loss against Baltimore, has had to spend the last two games as a spectator while seeing Bailey Zappe thrust into the spotlight after Brian Hoyer went down just 10 minutes into their match-up against the Packers two weeks ago.
Things certainly haven’t gone quite to plan. When Jones got hurt, the hope initially seemed to be that Hoyer would keep the team afloat until Jones got back. Instead, Hoyer went down and we’ve seen Zappe come in and play well enough that they nearly pulled off the upset in Green Bay and obviously dominated the Lions on Sunday.
