Keeping Up With Jones

Each week, Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones is improving. The team is opening up more of the playbook to their rookie signal-caller, and he’s answering the challenge of increasing expectations.

Jones led the Pats to six touchdowns on eight possessions in their 45-7 win over Cleveland. His 142.1 passer rating in that game was the eighth-highest ever by an NFL rookie.

He could feast again on Sunday. Atlanta is 29th in the NFL at defending the pass, 22nd at stopping the run and is the league’s 31st scoring defense. Offensively, the Falcons are #21 in passing, #30 in rushing and 25th in scoring offense.
