jones and mego: mac jones joins the show following 29-25 upset win vs. bills
Following the Patriots' 29-25 win over the Bills on Sunday, Mac Jones told CBS sideline reporter Evan Washburn that the reason New England won was offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien.
“O’Brien,” the quarterback answered when asked what changed for New England’s offense on Sunday. “He did a great job calling a good game, and being aggressive and using things that I did in college that I really like. So, I really appreciate that.”
With 24ish hours to sit on the victory, Jones was asked about these comments and how the Patriots' game plan changed this week during his Monday appearance with WEEI’s Jones and Mego:
“Like I talked about, just sticking to the process,” the quarterback told the show. “Just trying to find ways to win. It’s doing the little things, doing the hard things, all of that stuff. Definitely made some progress there and want to continue to grow in that matter. Like I said one game doesnt define you, so just keep working. I’ll say that every week just keep working and trust the process.”
Jones was then asked about specifically mentioning the ‘things he did in college':
“I think the schematics and stuff can change week-to-week in the NFL,” he explained. “Definitely just want to try and find our identity like we’ve talked about, and go out there and compete with eachother… Football is a lot about the plays but it’s more about the people. Really just getting together and playing for eachother and we have to do that every week. We can’t do it one week and then not the next, so. Really gotta flip the page and focus how we can do that this week against Miami.”
It sounds like, given the personnel adjustments the Patriots made on Sunday, O'Brien was able to throw it back to Jones' 'Bama days and find ways for him to succeed. Now we wait and see if they can continue that against the Dolphins.
Jones also spoke about Mike Gesicki’s game-winning touchdown catch, Bill Belichick’s 300th regular season victory, and more on Monday’s edition of Jones and Mego. You can listen to the full interview here.
