The New England Patriots are officially imploding.
On Sunday morning, a frustrated Pats’ offensive coordinator, Bill O’Brien was seen ripping into QB Mac Jones on the sideline after an interception.
Eventually, Jones got benched for backup Bailey Zappe in the team’s final drive.
Unfortunately, Zappe threw a bizarre game-ending interception after a fake spike.
"A Bailey Zappe fake-spike leads to a game-sealing interception. Words that I didn't wake up this morning here in Germany think that I'd be saying."- Rich Eisen

After the game, Jones was asked about the team’s playcalling at the end of the half and why the team didn’t throw a hail mary while near midfield.
“No clue. There’s 2 seconds left, and we needed 60 yards, so… I don’t know,”
Why didn't the Patriots go for the Hail Mary before halftime?

Fans felt Jones was taking a shot at his coaches.
Boston media will roast Jones for this sentiment, but he’s 100% right to publicly question the coaching at this point. And, they’re 100% right to question him. https://t.co/BtEAcBykQD

It’ll be interesting to see how the Patriots decide to continue to operate, considering the season is basically over for them, and no one seems happy over there.
