But even then, a Week 18 trip to Miami\u2019s Hard (House of Horrors) Stadium is looming with Brian Flores\u2019 group riding a six-game winning streak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Evan Lazar&#039;s Film Review: We Learned A Lot About Mac Jones vs Colts\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rTafRd-2PkE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Winning in the NFL isn\u2019t easy. Practice preparation makes game reality. And December and January are where this group of Patriots will either cement themselves as the next generation or something closer to the 2019-20 Pats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, New England\u2019s practice execution and energy during the week indicated that the team was flat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI just don\u2019t think it was our best effort. It starts with me just throughout the week. We didn\u2019t have a great practice every day,\u201d Jones said. \u201cStarting with me, the energy was kind of low, maybe like feeling a little sorry for ourselves because we\u2019re coming off the bye and stuff. Not to get into details, but we just didn\u2019t practice well, and that just reflects how we played.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The lack of attention to detail that led to drive-killing penalties and sloppy offense was inexcusable, but also something unlikely to happen again under Bill Belichick\u2019s watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A more reflective reality is that rookie quarterbacks have growing pains. Although it\u2019s easy to forget, Jones is only 14 starts into his NFL career, and we got both ends of the rookie spectrum on Saturday night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">New England\u2019s loss to Indy is a great tape to evaluate the good and bad currently in Mac\u2019s game. The good was that Jones added 0.22 expected points per play if you remove his two interceptions. On the other hand, two giveaways, including one in the red zone, contributed to digging the hole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Riding the seesaw with Jones and the Pats offense is frustrating at times, but the positive plays greatly outweighed the negative in terms of volume for the Patriots\u2019 quarterback on Saturday night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After reviewing the coaches tape, we had Jones with 11 positive plays to three negative throws or decisions. According to PFF, the two picks were Mac\u2019s only turnover-worthy plays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let\u2019s break it down throw-by-throw to highlight both the positivists and the negatives:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">POSITIVE PLAYS<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1ST QTR, 3RD-&amp;-2: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO J. MEYERS FOR 10 YARDS\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Starting with the first third down, McDaniels began sequencing New England&#8217;s levels concept early in the game (it&#8217;ll come back later).<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-1\" width=\"788\" height=\"444\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/x5ppv3_1.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/x5ppv3_1.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/x5ppv3_1.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here, Kendrick Bourne (deep dig) and Jakobi Meyers (shallow dig) cross over the middle against a two-high rotating structure. The Colts give Mac a man coverage read pre-snap, but he wisely sees the defender over Bourne in the right slot falling off at the snap into the deep half. When the middle linebacker (Okereke, #58) drops into the deep hole, it leaves a void underneath for Meyers to fill in on the shallow, and Mac sniffs out the rotation and knows where the opening is to move the chains. Good read and process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1ST QTR, 3RD-&amp;-3: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO J. MEYERS FOR FOUR YARDS\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Colts defense is known for mainly playing zone coverage, especially cover-two, but they played some man coverage against New England on third down as a game-plan wrinkle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-2\" width=\"788\" height=\"440\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/MeyersWhipRoute.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/MeyersWhipRoute.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/MeyersWhipRoute.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Meyers starts in the backfield and motions into the slot to give Jones a pre-snap coverage indicator on this third down. When the defender follows Meyers into the slot, it tells Mac that it\u2019s man coverage. Mac then works the one-on-one matchup for Meyers on the pivot\/return route, and they get just enough to keep the drive alive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2ND QTR, 1ST-&amp;-10: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO K. BOURNE FOR 15 YARDS\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once the Pats got down on the scoreboard, McDaniels began to open up the early-down passing game, and the Pats hit on several big plays.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-3\" width=\"788\" height=\"441\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/BournePACross.mp4?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/BournePACross.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/BournePACross.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This time, they motion tight end Jonnu Smith into the backfield, and that gets the Colts to walk a safety down to the line, forming a single-high structure. With the defense in single-high, the Pats ran play-action, and Bourne wins on the crossing pattern from the left slot. Mac does a nice job of subtly moving to his right in the pocket to give himself space to step into the throw and pumps while he moves to hold the underneath coverage, leading to a chunk play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3RD QTR, 1ST-&amp;-10: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO H. HENRY FOR 14 YARDS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another impressive element to Mac\u2019s game was post-snap coverage manipulation against zone, or holding and even moving defenders with his eyes out of passing lanes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-4\" width=\"788\" height=\"441\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ManipulatesLeonard.mp4?_=4\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ManipulatesLeonard.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ManipulatesLeonard.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mac looks left and loads up in his drop in this play like he\u2019s throwing in that direction. However, he\u2019s coming back to Hunter Henry\u2019s in cut the entire way. The stare to his left gets Colts linebacker Darius Leonard to bite in that direction, moving the underneath zone out of the passing line so Jones can get the pass through to Henry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3RD QTR, 1ST-&amp;-10: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO N. AGHOLOR FOR 10 YARDS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Patriots gave Jones clear-out concepts at the intermediate level throughout the game to allow him to throw away from underneath or robber help.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-5\" width=\"788\" height=\"442\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AgholorInCut.mp4?_=5\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AgholorInCut.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AgholorInCut.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here, the defense appears to be in a match zone where they\u2019re playing vertical releases like it\u2019s man with underneath zone defenders. McDaniels gives Mac double in cuts to his left, and he\u2019s going to throw to whichever receiver isn\u2019t given the inside help. Mac holds Leonard again by staring left in his drop, and Leonard stays inside to leverage the first in cut, so Mac throws the second in cut to Agholor for a first down completion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3RD QTR, 1ST-&amp;-10: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO H. HENRY FOR 11 YARDS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jones also made quick-game concepts work on straight drop-backs from under center by understanding where the zone-droppers would leave voids in the coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-6\" width=\"788\" height=\"440\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HenryQuickGame.mp4?_=6\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HenryQuickGame.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HenryQuickGame.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Leonard false steps upfield on this completion, thinking the Pats will run the ball, and Jones beats him with a quick pass to Henry for an easy 11 yards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4TH QTR, 2ND-&amp;-10: M. JONES TOUCHDOWN PASS TO H. HENRY FOR 12 YARDS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here&#8217;s more post-snap coverage manipulation from Jones on Henry\u2019s first touchdown catch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-7\" width=\"788\" height=\"442\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HenryFirstTD.mp4?_=7\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HenryFirstTD.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HenryFirstTD.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Colts are in a cover-six scheme or quarter-quarter-half from the high red zone. N\u2019Keal Harry\u2019s vertical route at the top of the screen occupies the half-field defender, leaving Henry essentially one-on-one with the middle-quarter safety. However, the underneath coverage is in the passing lane. As Jones climbs to evade the rush, he looks off the underneath coverage and no-looks the pass to Henry as the Pats\u2019 tight end runs open on the other side of the deep safety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4TH QTR, 3RD-&amp;-10: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO B. BOLDEN FOR 12 YARDS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One more example of Mac understanding what the defense is throwing at him and his answer to an all-out zone pressure by Colts DC Matt Eberflus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-8\" width=\"788\" height=\"441\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/BoldenThirdDownZero.mp4?_=8\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/BoldenThirdDownZero.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/BoldenThirdDownZero.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Typically, zero blitzes are man coverage. But the zone-heavy Colts will run all-out pressure with a five-man zone structure behind it that plays out like cover-three. Mac recognizes that he has two-on-two at the top of the screen, with Harry setting a natural pick on the zone-dropper closest to Bolden with just two underneath zone defenders. Harry provides the traffic, Mac gets it into Bolden\u2019s hands, and a pass behind the line of scrimmage on third-and-long converts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4TH QTR, 2ND-&amp;-10: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO N. HARRY FOR NINE YARDS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Who doesn\u2019t love a good example of getting to the backside dig in a full-field progression?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-9\" width=\"788\" height=\"444\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HarryBacksideDig.mp4?_=9\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HarryBacksideDig.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HarryBacksideDig.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here, the Pats ran a sail concept to Mac\u2019s left, thinking they could hit the corner route to Henry against a two-high coverage. When the middle linebacker carries Henry vertical and the outside corner squats in a trap position, Jones comes off Henry and gets to the backside read. Meyers\u2019 vertical runs the deep safety up the field, and Harry fills the void as the backside dig.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4TH QTR, 1ST-&amp;-10: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO K. BOURNE FOR 20 YARDS\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Patriots go back to the levels concept again here, and this time it\u2019s the deep dig that is open.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-10\" width=\"788\" height=\"441\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/lnhei4_1.mp4?_=10\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/lnhei4_1.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/lnhei4_1.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As we roll it, Okereke (deep hole) latches on to Meyers\u2019 shallow dig, probably due to Mac throwing to Jakobi the first time. Jones puts enough air under the ball to get it over Kenny Moore\u2019s shallow zone and drops it in front of the deep safety for the drive-starter to Bourne.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4TH QTR, 3RD-&amp;-6: M. JONES PASS COMPLETE TO N. HARRY FOR 43 YARDS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A few plays later, the Patriots came back to the levels concept for a huge play a third time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-11\" width=\"788\" height=\"442\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HarryDeepShot.mp4?_=11\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HarryDeepShot.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HarryDeepShot.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After hitting Meyers and Bourne on the dig patterns, the defense is all over them now. Okereke (MLB) jumps Meyers, the half-field safety jumps Bourne, leaving Harry one-on-one on the backside for the deep ball, and they hit it perfectly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We get on McDaniels constantly for his sometimes head-scratching situational play-calling, but that\u2019s excellent sequencing to scheme up three productive plays off the same concept.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4TH QTR, 3RD-&amp;-7: M. JONES TOUCHDOWN PASS TO H. HENRY FOR SEVEN YARDS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A final tight-window zone throw to Henry. Ironically, the Patriots passed up on fourth-and-goal from the seven for a field goal, then converted a similar scenario on the next drive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-12\" width=\"788\" height=\"441\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HenrySecondTD.mp4?_=12\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HenrySecondTD.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HenrySecondTD.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is some kind of combo coverage from Eberflus, who gets a little wonky in the red zone. Nevertheless, the left side (from the offenses\u2019 perspective) is in zone, and Henry sits down in the void to present Mac with a target. The quick-release and ball placement stand out here. Mac doesn\u2019t allow Leonard to get a feel for his intentions by going with the shorter throwing motion and puts it as far away from the defender as possible while still making it catchable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">NEGATIVE PLAYS\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As we get into the negatives, we cut out Darius Leonard\u2019s interception because it was straightforward: Mac thought he looked Leonard off, but Leonard changed directions instantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3RD QTR, 3RD-&amp;-1: M. JONES INTERSECTED BY B. OKEREKE INTENDED FOR B. BOLDEN<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With that said, the second interception to Bolden really irked me for several reasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-95366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-11.10.45-AM-300x167.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"713\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-11.10.45-AM-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-11.10.45-AM-600x333.png 600w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-11.10.45-AM-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-11.10.45-AM-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-11.10.45-AM-150x83.png 150w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-11.10.45-AM-450x250.png 450w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-11.10.45-AM-1200x666.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-11.10.45-AM.png 1264w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First, and I plan to ask McDaniels this, if Mac doesn\u2019t have the freedom to check into a run on third-and-one when he gets this box in Week 15, what are we doing? He\u2019s fully capable of making this check, and it cost them in a big way. I could\u2019ve ran for a first down here.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-13\" width=\"788\" height=\"442\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mac2ndINT.mp4?_=13\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mac2ndINT.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mac2ndINT.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Second, this is a bad, bad read by Jones and a late throw into the flat that he\u2019s lucky wasn\u2019t a pick-six. On the read, the Pats are running mesh crossers against one-cross. The deep safety rotates into a robber position to cut the crossing route in one cross. The safety cuts off Henry in this play, leaving Meyers with leverage on the crosser going from left to right. The ball should go to Meyers, who is open, and likely moves the chains on third down. Mac needs to hold on the primary read longer. Instead, he got impatient and made a lazy throw.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The two elements that led to the turnover, not checking to a run and missing Meyers on the read, cannot happen this late in the season, rookie quarterback or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3RD QTR, 4TH-&amp;-1: M. JONES INCOMPLETE PASS TO N. AGHOLOR\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another play that made me want to pull my hair out with blame going to McDaniels and Mac.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First, how many times are the Patriots going to run this sprint right\/pick play in short-yardage? It\u2019s all over the tape, and the Colts were all over it. Henry could\u2019ve looked for the ball sooner, and it\u2019s usually Meyers in that spot, which might\u2019ve put Henry in a position he hasn\u2019t practiced much or been one tendency breaker that McDaniels was hoping would fool Indy. It didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-95365-14\" width=\"788\" height=\"439\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4thDown.mp4?_=14\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4thDown.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4thDown.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Second, unlike the Okereke pick, Mac needs to come off the primary read faster this time. The Colts play the rub concept perfectly with the defender going over the pick. It\u2019s not there. What is there is Meyers on crossing on the backside with the entire defense flowing to the flat. If Mac comes off Henry faster and gets to his second read (Meyers) after a quick reset, it\u2019s first down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As Mac said earlier this season, it takes three plays to lose a football game. The Patriots had more than three negative plays: a blocked punt TD, two interceptions, a failed fourth down, multiple drive-killing penalties, offside on a missed field cost them three points, and so on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, for Jones and the offense, it was indeed three plays, with the two turnovers and a failed fourth down play that was there to be made, putting them in a 20-zip hole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The good news is that there was plenty of good to take away from the Pats\u2019 passing performance on Saturday night, and their rookie QB showed some moxie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jones made some really bad plays in this one, but he didn\u2019t allow that to shake his confidence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although that\u2019s the silver lining, we are at the point in the year where mistakes end your season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If anyone thought the Patriots would coast to the Super Bowl, reality set in on Saturday night when the Colts ended the Pats&#8217; seven-game winning streak.\u00a0 New England now finds itself in essentially a winner-take-all game against Buffalo next Sunday at Gillette Stadium for the division.
