Mac Jones’s Ugly Pick-Six vs. Saints Looks Even Worse Compared to Tom Brady’s Impressive Patriots Stat

Mac Jones Tom Brady Patriots Saints New England (Geopolitical Entity) Pats

To say New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is off to a rough start this season would be a massive understatement.

The former NCAA title-winning QB at Alabama is under serious heat in New England after yet another brutal performance Sunday, a 34–0 shutout loss at home against the Saints. Jones threw for just 110 yards and two more interceptions, including a first quarter pick-six for Tyrann Mathieu that came essentially gift-wrapped for the Saints defense.

That pick-six put Jones on the wrong side of a stat that has generated plenty of buzz among NFL fans. According to ESPN Stats and Info, Jones has now thrown four pick-sixes at Gillette Stadium in his less than 2.5 seasons in New England. Meanwhile, legendary Pats QB Tom Brady threw just four pick-sixes at Gillette in the 18 seasons he called Gillette home, starting in 2002 when the building opened.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick did indicate after the game that Jones will remain the team’s starting quarterback, despite him being benched late Sunday for Bailey Zappe, saying the offensive struggles “certainly [weren’t] all on him.”

However, stats like that one show off just how far the Patriots have fallen and sparked plenty of conversation about Jones’ future in New England.
