Jones talks about his performance after the game

Two more quarters after the interception, the Patriots lost 27-17. Jones was frustrated with his poor performance. In the post-match press conference, he said, “I just threw it right to him. It was a good play, but unacceptable. You can’t win until you stop from losing.” Jones adds, “I mean, I handed the ball to the guy. I did that twice, and that hurt us. I thought the defense played pretty well, and I just shot them in the foot myself by giving them the short field and giving them the ball. That’s just my fault, and I’ll learn from it.”
