Jones was under center for four series in Philadelphia and carved up the Eagles, completing 13 of his 19 passes for 146 yards.

Jones again came off the bench in relief of Cam Newton, who was also stellar Thursday night against the Eagles. BOSTON (CBS) - Mac Jones looked pretty darn good in his NFL debut last week, and the rookie was solid once again in his second preseason game for the Patriots on Thursday night.
