Jones made his return nearly a month later when the Patriots faced the Chicago Bears and lost.
He went on to lead the Patriots to three-straight victories, beating the New York Jets twice and the Indianapolis Colts once. He lost his last two starts vs. the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving and again to the Buffalo Bills a week later on Thursday Night Football.
Jones has had an underwhelming campaign thus far. In nine games, he's thrown for only seven touchdowns while scoring a rushing touchdown and throwing seven interceptions.
As a rookie, he went 10-7 as the starting quarterback while leading the Patriots to the playoffs and also winning Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Mac Jones and the New England Patriots are fighting for a potential playoff spot
The New England Patriots are currently in last place in the AFC East.
They play in a stacked division as every single team besides them has a winning record. The Pats are currently 6-6 and have a chance at a winning record with a win tonight or will have a losing record with a loss. A loss will severely puncture their chances at a playoff run though.
The New York Jets sit at 7-6, the Miami Dolphins are 8-5, and the Buffalo Bills are 10-3. The Bills are one of the best teams in the entire conference and it seems like they are on their way to winning back-to-back division titles.
At 6-6 and with a chance of improving to 7-6, the Patriots are certainly alive for the playoffs and could make it as a wild card team.
