September 21, 2021

New England Patriots rookie QB Mac Jones has revealed his secret on how he can stay so poised. Mac Jones and the Patriots are coming off a big game against the Jets. The defense was able to hold the poor Jets to only 6 points. They were also able to pick him off 4 times. Obviously, this was a big win for the Patriots who were looking to get back in the winning column after starting the season with a loss to Miami. Now, fans are starting to take notice of Mac Jones and his ability to stay so poised.

He had a few thoughts on the matter.

“Just breathing in general, just slowing down your breathing,” Jones admitted, after being asked about how he can stay so calm. “There’s some specific things you can do, but for me, that helps because that kind of lowers the pressure part of it, and you just kind of relax a little bit.”

This is pretty impressive stuff from a rookie QB. Hopefully he is able to continue to stay calm throughout the season as it starts to get tougher.

Bill Belichick also had some things to say about the win against the Jets.

“Proud of our football team today. I thought these guys came back and really worked hard all week. I thought we made some improvement from what we did last week. Still, obviously, have a way to go, a lot of things we can do better,” Belichick said following the 25-6 win. “But I thought we did a lot of things better than we did last week. We just gotta keep grinding, keep working, keep stringing these days and weeks together and keep improving our football team. Had a lot of guys step up. Got some turnover opportunities, took advantage of those.

“Wilson made some pretty impressive throws — that kid’s gonna be a good player — he is a good player. Had a couple big plays offensively. Damien’s run was obviously a big one. Was good to get the ball in the end zone there. … Overall, probably just gotta do a little better job taking care of our scoring opportunities. Nick (Folk) did a good job. (Wind) was kinda swirling out there. Not the easiest day kick. He banged through a lot of big kicks there.”
