Season two for Mac Jones as the starting quarterback will be a major narrative in the Patriots’ new season. The better he plays the more likely New England will be a serious threat to the Buffalo Bills and their expectations of winning the AFC East for a third straight season.
With long-time offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels moving on to coach the Raiders, the new OC by committee will have some massive shoes to fill in keeping the offensive standard left by McDaniels. Through the summer and early season, that standard has not been met. However, when it comes to NFL legend Bill Belichick, you have to bet on the Patriots being highly competitive in 2022, and Jones being put in a position to showcase the strong points of his overall game once again.
