Patriots' Mac Jones: Impresses again Thursday
Jones completed 13 of 19 passes for 146 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Patriots' 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles on Thursday night. He also rushed once for three yards.
The rookie may not have thrown for any scores, but he helped helm an outstanding 17-play, 91-yard march on his first possession upon entering in the second quarter behind Cam Newton. The ground attack did play an outsized role in that drive, but Jones was also in on second-half 75- and 70-yard scoring drives that culminated in rushing touchdowns. Newton was also sharp during his stint, so the competition between the two signal-callers presumably will persist in the next week of practices leading up to New England's third preseason tilt on Sunday, Aug. 29 against the Giants.
