6 rings: Mac Jones seems completely broken

It doesn't sound like the Patriots will be making a change at quarterback this week, atleast according to offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien.

During his media availability in Foxborough on Tuesday, O'Brien was asked if he anticipates Mac Jones being the team's starting quarterback this coming Sunday versus the Raiders.

"I do," the play caller said with what felt like confidence.

On the Patriots' struggles on offense as a whole, O'Brien said that "at the end of the day, we're turning the ball over too much. We have got to stop turning the ball over."

"There's always a level of frustration," O'Brien also explained. "We have to coach the details better, at times we have to execute better. We have to be a lot more consistent."

New England will hit the practice field on Tuesday for the first time this week as they gear up for their contest in Las Vegas. The Patriots currently sit at 1-4 on the season and have quite the hole to dig themselves out of if they want to stay competitive in 2023.
