"Patriots' Mac Jones benched again as Saints dominate in embarrassing loss"

The New England Patriots have benched quarterback Mac Jones for the second consecutive game after a poor performance against the New Orleans Saints. Jones was pulled in the early fourth quarter with the Patriots trailing 31-0, completing 12 of 22 passes for 110 yards with two interceptions and a lost fumble. In his place, Bailey Zappe took over. This decision comes after Jones struggled in the previous game against the Dallas Cowboys, leading to a blowout defeat. Since becoming the Patriots' starting QB, Jones has had a mixed record, and the team has gone 8-16 since the 2021 bye week.
