Mac Jones reveals he didn’t have a great week of practice before Chargers game

Mac Jones played probably his worst game of the season during the Patriots win over the Chargers Sunday.

While the rookie finished 18-for-35 with 218 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions, the Chargers had him out of sorts, particularly in the second quarter.

After starting the game 6-for-9, with several long completions, Jones went cold, hitting on just two of his next 13 attempts.

During his weekly appearance on the “Merloni & Fauria” show on WEEI Monday afternoon, Jones acknowledged he didn’t have his best week of practice in the lead up to the game.

He also went into detail about what he needs to improve, starting with his footwork.

“There’s a lot (I need to work on),” he said. “I think improving my feet, just the timing in the passing game. I just need to improve that and know what I am supposed to do with the ball on certain plays. I just need to be more consistent and there will be drills and things I can do to improve that, but at the end of the day we won and that’s great and all, but you have to look at what actually happened and how we can improve.

“I don’t think there’s anything dramatic or anything like that, but there just has to be a lot for us to improve to keep winning. We didn’t have our best day, or I didn’t have my best day, so it’s just going out there and practicing well. I didn’t have a great week of practice last week and that just translates to the game. You have to bring it every day.”
