The New England Patriots have to accept a clear defeat in the Monday Night Game of the seventh NFL game day. For quarterback Mac Jones, the comeback from injury turns into a disaster.
Munich – At the end of the seventh NFL game day, the Chicago Bears have taken a 33:14 victory at the New England Patriots.
The visitors benefited above all from their strong running quarterback Justin Fields. The 23-year-old showed an excellent performance and brought in 14 runs for 82 rushing yards and a touchdown. He also completed 13 of 21 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown, but he also had to accept an interception.
The situation on the other side was completely different. For Patriots playmaker Mac Jones, the game should have been a celebratory return from injury, but turned into a disaster.
Mac Jones forced to bench for Patriots
After two 3-and-outs and an interception, he was benched by head coach Bill Belichick. But even backup Bailey Zappe did not bring the desired success. He did manage a touchdown pass, but two of his throws ended up in the hands of the opponent.
Meanwhile, kicker Cairo Santos proved to be the best provider of points for the Bears. With four field goals and three extra points, he put a total of 15 points on the scoreboard. Quarterback Fields and running back David Montogomery also scored rushing touchdowns. Khalil Herbert, meanwhile, caught a 25-yard touchdown pass.
For the Patriots, Rhamondre Stevenson ran into the end zone and Jakobi Meyers caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Zappe.
Both teams now have a record of three wins and four losses.
