The past few weeks have been a roller-coaster ride for the Patriots. They went from scoring three points on offense in a win over the Jets, to one of the best games of quarterback Mac Jones' career in a Thanksgiving loss to the Vikings, to struggling again in a 24-10 loss to the Bills on "Thursday Night Football."
Jones was 22 for 36 for 195 yards and a touchdown, but by the end of the game, he appeared to be fed up with the way the game was being called.
The Prime Video broadcast showed Jones at one point as he appeared to be saying, "Throw the f---ing ball! The quick game sucks!"
"Obviously, I just kind of let my emotions get to me," he said. "What I said was about throwing it deeper within the short game. I got to execute that part better. But it's the short game that we kept going to, which is working. But I felt like we needed chunk plays. I shouted that out to kind of get everyone going. That's emotional. That's football. I'm passionate about this game.
"Obviously, you don't want to let your emotions get the best of you. I think that's pretty much it. It wasn't directed at anybody. Just emotion coming out. We kind of needed a spark."
