Gronk lays out how Mac Jones could lose his job as Patriots QB

Mac Jones had arguably his worst game as an NFL starter Sunday in Dallas. But it was just one game, right? He's still the New England Patriots' starting quarterback, right?

Head coach Bill Belichick confirmed Jones indeed will remain the team's starter despite Belichick benching his third-year QB in the fourth quarter of a 38-3 blowout loss to the Cowboys. As bad as Jones was Sunday, he's still a clear step above backups Bailey Zappe and Will Grier, so the QB1 job should be his for the rest of the season barring injury.
