Mac Jones and the Patriots stunned the Bills on Sunday as Bill Belichick won his 300th career NFL game.
Mike Reiss is an NFL reporter at ESPN and covers the New England Patriots. Reiss has covered the Patriots since 1997 and joined ESPN in 2009. In 2019, he was named Massachusetts Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sports Media Association. You can follow Reiss on Twitter at @MikeReiss.The Patriots were on the cusp of letting a game they led for large stretches slip away from them before Jones engineered an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive after taking over with 1:58 left on the clock.
It was the type of final drive that Patriots fans had grown accustomed to during Tom Brady's playing days, but had been elusive for Jones, who is in his third season. Jones was 11-of-13 for 127 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. He finished 25-of-30 for 272 yards with the two touchdowns and no interceptions.:"I thought Mac did a great job today, making the right decisions all day. And obviously at the end. Playing his best football when it mattered, and that's what we needed."
As for Belichick, whose team was off to the worst start in his 24 years as coach, he becomes just the third head coach in NFL history to reach 300 career regular-season wins -- behind Don Shula and George Halas ."He's probably the best to do it," Peppers said."He coaches the right way. He knows how to push the right buttons to get guys going.""We watch those guys take ownership in practice," Peppers said."I know they feel good they can win a game for us.
