Fresh off of two of the worst losses of the Bill Belichick era in New England, things seem to only be getting worse for not only the Patriots, but more specifically, for their starting quarterback Mac Jones.

Nothing has gone right for the New England Patriots early on this season, and while their play on the field certainly showcases that, this can be traced back to free agency this past offseason when the team opted to replace Jakobi Meyers with JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have struggled mightily to open up the 2023 season.

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones had the worst game of his NFL career on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, but that didn’t appear to be the reason why he was benched.
