Mac Jones put New Orleans on the scoreboard first, throwing his third pick-6 of the 12 months on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

All three of the interceptions returned for touchdowns have come within the first half of video games.

Jones stepped up in the pocket and appeared to throw the ball in Rhamondre Stevenson’s path. Jones was hit as he threw, and the ball wound up inside the grasp of New Orleans defensive again Tyrann Mathieu, who returned the ball 25 years for a landing.

It was Jones’s fifth interception of the season. He had 5 passing touchdowns on the time of this posting.

Jones’s turnovers have led to 4 touchdowns for opposing groups, together with the three pick-6s and a scoop-and-score from Dallas’s Leighton Vander Esch final week.
