Mac Jones won’t let himself let go of the feeling of losing by 30 to the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs last season.
Per Brian Hines of PatsPulpit.com, Jones keeps a photo from that game in his locker with the final score written on it. Likely serving as daily motivation for the second-year QB to make sure it never happens again.
Jones and the Patriots had no answers for the Bills back in January. Buffalo carried a 27-3 lead into the half and never really looked back.
Mac finished the night 24-38 for 232 yards, two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions, while also getting sacked three times.
It was certainly one of the most embarrassing losses of the Bill Belichick era: Josh Allen had more touchdowns than incompletions, Buffalo averaged six yards per carry and the margin of defeat was the third-highest in Patriots franchise history.
We’ll see what Mac Jones can answer with in the upcoming season.
