„I went up to [Jones], and I said, ‚What would Mike [Jordan] and Kobe [Bryant] do right now?'“
Mac Jones had the ball in his hands with just under two minutes to play and the Patriots trailing by one score Sunday afternoon.
This wasn’t the first time this season Jones had an opportunity to lead a game-winning drive. He was win a similar spot against Philadelphia in the opener, and in Week 2 against the Dolphins.
On Sunday, Jones led his first-game winning drive of the season, capping an 8-play, 75-yard march to the end zone with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki.
Jones said it felt good to successfully complete a scoring drive at the end of the game. He called it a “crumb” of success. The Patriots improved to 2-5 with the win and are now 2-1 in division play.
“Yeah, I think just keep fighting and, you know, it’s just a crumb, right? That’s what I always say. And you’ve got to build off that. You’ve got to build off that and attack every day the same. It’s all about playing for each other, playing for the guy next to you and understanding why.
