Patriots

Patriots fourth-round QB Bailey Zappe commented on his play against the Bears on Monday night.

“Just got to get better,” Zappe said, via NFL.com. “Can’t fall off as I did. I’ve got to make some throws. I’ve got to make better decisions on certain things. That’s the good thing about having another week. Get back at it tomorrow. Watch the film tomorrow. Get ready for next week.”

Patriots QB Mac Jones is ready to be supportive regardless of if he is named the starter going forward or not.

“I guess when Sunday comes, we’ll know,” Jones said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN. “I’ve been in this situation before, and I’m just going to try to help the team. Whatever my role is, I’ll be ready, and I’ll give it 100 percent.”

Jones wouldn’t comment on the current status of his health.

“I don’t really do the whole percentage thing. You are either able to play or not. In the NFL, you don’t get any credit for playing hurt or not, and there are no excuses,” Jones said. “So I felt like I was good to go. With time, it will get better. I’ve just got to play better.”
