Tony Romo is being forced to watch Mac Jones play QB, and he doesn’t seem to be enjoying the experience.
Before Sunday’s Patriots-Raiders game, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the team would consider benching Jones after he’s struggled for the majority part of the season.

Sources say Jones is on a short leash, and a poor opening few series could potentially trigger another QB to take snaps in Las Vegas. It’s just not entirely clear who would take those snaps if Jones is benched.
Patriots QBs split reps this week, sources say, with Bailey Zappe and Will Grier getting their fair share.
On Sunday, Jones struggled again in the first half against the Las Vegas Raiders and threw an absolutely terrible interception.
While watching a replay of the interception, a disgusted Romo noted how “horrendous” Jones’ throw was.

It does seem like Jones’ time in New England is coming to an end soon.
