Former New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones opened up more about the shockingly disastrous 2022 season.
The Patriots were initially full of hope coming off a year where they made it to the playoffs and remained competitive in the AFC East division. Jones started as a rookie out of college and was nominated to the Pro Bowl in his first NFL year. He finished the season throwing for 3,801 yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
Not bad for a rookie.
But then disaster struck on the offensive side of the ball. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels left the Patriots for a head coaching job with the Las Vegas Raiders, and former Patriots coach Bill Belichick failed to find a suitable replacement.
He considered doing the job himself, according to Jones, but he ultimately decided to hand over the offensive coaching responsibilities to longtime defensive coach Matt Patricia. It ended up being one of the worst decisions in franchise history.
