New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones said he let his emotions get the best of him during Thursday night’s loss to the Buffalo Bills when asked about his explosive reaction on the sideline to the Patriots’ play-calling.
Jones completed 22 of 36 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown, but the Patriots struggled to find the end zone, losing to the Bills, who claimed their third straight victory over New England.

Jones assumed responsibility for his part in Thursday’s loss, adding that it “starts with me.”
“When you’re playing from behind against a pretty good team and a good offense, you need to go out there and make better plays,” Jones said. “That starts with me. Definitely wasn’t good enough by me tonight. All you can do is watch the tape and see where we can get better. Playing catch-up is hard. We didn’t want to do that all game. I didn’t do a good enough job of getting ahead early, making it work. So, tough one, but hats off to the Bills for playing a good game.”
