Mac Jones gets benched; Bailey Zappe leads perfect touchdown drive
The Patriots get the ball back with a yard return. After a brief word from T-Mobile, the focus shifts to Bailey Zappy, the most popular man in New England. Zappy, a fourth-round pick from Western Kentucky, has become a fan favorite by winning his first two starts and completing over 70% of his passes. He completes a short pass to Johnny Smith and then a crucial pass to Stevenson despite a blitz from linebacker Raquan Smith. A 20-yard completion to Stevenson sets up a play-action pass to Myers for a touchdown, making it a 10-7 game on Monday night.
Mac Jones gets benched, and Bailey Zappe throws a game-losing fake spike interception.
It's a handoff and it's close. We'll see if they're going to stop for a measurement. Oh, they're just calling it a first down. The clock is rolling. Ball's placed on the 40, less than 40 seconds to go. Zappe with a fake snap, big spike—pardon me, it's intercepted! Oh boy, Rodney...
Zappe's fake spike leads to a game-sealing interception. Words I didn't expect to say this morning here in Germany. I'm in disbelief of the sequence right there. They go to the run and play, pick up the first down, you think they're going to spike the ball to figure out what's next. Instead, Zappe throws it over the middle into a team meeting of Indianapolis Colts, and they make him pay. That play just looked disorganized, and Bill's look right there sums up their season so far.
The Colts will take a victory formation and go into the bye at 5-5, while the Patriots, for the first time since 2000, are 2-8 heading into the bye.
Mac Jones shows good sportsmanship to Bailey Zappe after being benched
Sometimes teams will play man coverage and work in zones behind it. Great job by Max Jones coming over and congratulating the quarterback. You know that's hard; it's hard on any competitor.
Is Bailey Zappe giving Mac Jones extra time to recover from his injury? | KJM
The KJM crew discusses the performance of Bailey Zappe for the Patriots, comparing him to Mac Jones. They note that Zappe appears to have a smoother playing style and speculate whether he might be a better option than Jones, who has struggled recently. While acknowledging the influence of Mac Jones being a first-round pick on perceptions, they also mention that Bailey Zappe's recent performances against weaker teams like the Lions and Browns have opened up a conversation about his potential. Patriots reporter Mike Reese adds that despite Zappe's good play, the team still considers Mac Jones the starter, but Zappe's performance might buy Jones more recovery time from injury. The discussion also touches on the unconventional coaching decisions by Bill Belichick and how Mac Jones has adapted to these changes.
