Mac Jones clarifies he was not calling out teammates in postgame comments
After the New England Patriots’ 24-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins, rookie quarterback Mac Jones made comments that were initially interpreted as him questioning his teammates’ commitment. However, Jones clarified on Monday that this was not his intent.
Emphasizing hard work and dedication
In his postgame comments, Jones stressed the need for players to put in extra effort and go above and beyond. He encouraged his teammates to spend more time studying film and working out, highlighting that success requires maximizing every available hour.
Reflecting on the loss and focusing on leadership
Jones admitted to feeling the weight of the loss and took time to reflect in his locker room. He expressed his desire to lead the team better in the upcoming week, analyzing his own performance and seeking ways to improve. Jones believes that with a few adjustments, the team could have easily been 2-0.
Acknowledging potential and unfortunate circumstances
Despite the disappointing start to the season, Jones remains optimistic about the team’s potential. He attributes the 0-2 record to a few unlucky breaks rather than lack of talent or effort. Jones urges his teammates to stay focused and continue pushing forward.
