Mac Jones has won a lot of games as a quarterback in his life, but it’s doubtful he was ever asked to do less in a win than he was Monday night.
Jones attempted only three passes in the New England Patriots‘ 14-10 win over the Buffalo Bills. Playing in hellacious winds, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick elected to run the ball 44 times, not counting two late-game kneeldowns.
After the win, New England outside linebacker Matthew Judon gave credit to the Patriots’ offense while also having some fun at Jones’ expense.
Matthew Judon "Hats off to the offense. Everybody, probably besides Mac. He really didn't do nothing besides hand the ball off (smile)." #Patriots

Jones has thrown the ball well as a rookie, completing 70.3% of his passes for 2,869 yards, 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions. However, when you play for Belichick, you have to “do your job” at all times, and last night, that meant handing off on nearly every play.
Surely, Jones is okay with the limited role, as it meant New England picked up another win. The Patriots have now won seven in a row to move to 9-4 on the season.
Currently, they are the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC.
