Rough Mac Jones Struggles Elicit Two-Word Remark From Julian Edelman

The New England Patriots lost the game to the Indianapolis Colts. Everyone was watching the game, including former Patriots players. Rookie quarterback Mac Jones caught the attention of former Patriots wideout Julian Edelman.

Bill Belichick’s first rounder struggled to make an impact in the first half of the game, but he had great performance in the second part of the game. It wasn’t enough and Jones threw two picks. Edelman watched the game and he has a message for Jones.

“Rookie pains,” the 2018 Super Bowl MVP wrote.

Jones didn’t have his best game and this is his real test. The rookie should use this loss as a motivation. He shouldn’t fall in despair and fail again. The Patriots are playing against the Buffalo Bills again. Will Jones improve? Will he throw another interception?

Mac Jones has to agree with Julian Edelman

The Patriots rookie wasn’t happy with his performance either. If you ask Jones, he will say the team didn’t practice enough this week. The Patriots had a bye week after their win over Buffalo. According to Jones, his team should have worked more to win this time. Playing against the Colts wasn’t a huge challenge, and the Patriots failed to win.

Belichick shares the same sentiment. In his postgame press conference, the Patriots head coach said players didn’t do well, but also criticized coaches for not doing their job. Belichick was visibly frustrated following the loss. He didn’t say much just said his team is moving on to the Buffalo Bills.

Indianapolis was without star center and the Patriots were without Damien Harris. Colts players got the best of this game. New England made too many mistakes on the field last night. Players allowed too many yards. Fumbles. Jones had two interceptions. It was an ugly loss for the team.

How will Patriots coaches fix the damage? They have a strong opponent next on the schedule. We can make a few theories about the upcoming game. Staying healthy should be a priority right now. COVID-19 is still here and players should be really careful.
