That’s when Jones hit Bourne and Agholor to get the Patriots across midfield. New England’s best drive of the first half came with less than two minutes left in the second quarter. If not, the Patriots are going to lose this one. Bottom line? He’s being asked to do too much - the rookie needs some of the veterans around him to step up.
Jones was on the run for much of the first two quarters, and tossed the first interception of his NFL career near the end of the first half. This was probably the two most uneven quarters of the season for the New England offense, which failed to get any sort of traction, lost sparkplug James White, and couldn’t provide enough protection for Jones.
