Well, that's a surprise. The New England Patriots' game against the Indianapolis Colts in Germany is coming down to the wire. The Patriots are down by 4 points against the Colts. With the game on the line, the team made a rather interesting move: they elected to bench Mac Jones for Bailey Zappe.

The Patriots ended up losing the game, with Zappe unable to lead the team to a touchdown drive. All game long, the team struggled heavily on offense. They only scored a grand total of six points in the entire game, thanks to two field goals. It's yet another show of awful offense from the team.

The decision to bench Jones for Zappe in that crucial team leads to another major question. What is going on with the Patriots and their quarterback room? Jones continues to struggle this season, but the team has continued to stick with him for the season. Benching your starter in a crucial potential game-winner shows a complete lack of faith in your quarterback.

The Patriots have been a dysfunctional mess all year long. Jones' struggles could be seen as a symptom of their issues and not the root cause. The way the team has handled Jones' supporting cast, the QB situation, and the offensive structure is a huge mess. That doesn't necessarily mean that Jones is absolved of all blame: he's still the one playing the game on the field and making costly decisions, after all.

The fallout from this decision (especially considered that the game ended on a Zappe INT) will be interesting to follow, to say the least.
