Mac Jones is having an absolutely brilliant start to his day in Foxborough.
The Patriots are hosting the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. With both teams sitting at 5-4 on the season, this one could have a big hand in crafting the AFC playoff picture. According to FiveThirtyEight, if New England wins, it has a 68% chance of making the postseason. A loss drops its chances down to 32%.
The former Alabama quarterback is taking it on his shoulders to put the game away early. Jones had 2 touchdown tosses in the first half, including this dart to Kendrick Bourne in the second quarter.

Jones was nearly perfect in the first half. He completed 13 of his 15 pass attempts for 134 yards, only took one sack, and has the Patriots up 24-7 at the halftime break.
The former 1st-round pick is up to 12 touchdown passes on the season now.
Derek Peterson does a bit of everything, not unlike Taysom Hill. He has covered Oklahoma, Nebraska, the Pac-12, and now delivers CFB-wide content.
