The Patriots have had a disastrous season in the NFL in 2023. Amidst Bill Belichick’s future under constant speculation, the team is at a crossroads. They haven’t had any luck with their current QB options, and with Mac Jones constantly criticized, Bailey Zappe hasn’t faired any better. In addition to this, the latest decision might not water down the fire anytime soon. Mac Jones has faced heavy backlash for his performances this season. Another update from Patriots camp could very well make or break the rest of his season. MAC JONES WOBBLES BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE The QB was the starter as NFL 2023 began. But over the last couple of weeks, that has come under heavy speculation. But for the Week 12 match against the Giants, he is set to start for the New England Patriots, as per insider sources. The QB with 10 TDs this season gets yet another chance to find his feet as the Patriots resign to playoff contention with 7 games remaining. 

Mac Jones had recently fallen out of Bill Belichick's favor. But latest
speculations may suggest that the HC has changed his mind on the QB.

My story of becoming an NFL writer is as interesting as my story of becoming an
MMA practitioner. Coming from such a sport where athletes look to knock the
brain cells off each other for a living, I liked the aggression that American
Football had to offer. Before I even realized it, I religiously started
following American football, picking up the most challenging in-depth write-ups.
Coming with prior experience in sports journalism, my time at EssentiallySports
has been all about breaking down complex plays and understanding the sport
closely. The art of storytelling has helped me connect well with the readers, as
they often leave insightful takeaways about my on-spot analysis and sports
research. One such analysis was about Colin Kaepernick’s comeback, the dust that
has now been settled. I am a fan of Russell Wilson, but when it comes to picking
a side, the Miami Dolphins have my heart. During my time away from covering NFL
teams and their entities, I love to immerse myself in striking my guitar string
to rock music.
