Patriots Fans Rarely Saw This Type Of Mac Jones Reaction

Mac Jones had flashes of fun in a productive rookie season with the New England Patriots in 2021. He helped the offense put up points and had fun doing so, headlined by his “griddy” celebration at the Pro Bowl.

That quickly flushed away over the next two seasons through his ineffective play and general dysfunction across the team that kept the Patriots out of postseason contention. Jones and the Patriots parted ways last offseason when New England traded the 2021 first-rounder to his hometown Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jones showed enough in the preseason to win the backup job behind Trevor Lawrence. Jones earned his first start with Jacksonville on Sunday against a talented Minnesota Vikings team with Lawrence out due to an injury.

Jones produced the Jaguars’ only first-half scoring play when he trudged into the end zone on a quarterback sneak for a touchdown. He took his full opportunity to celebrate when he spiked the ball and immediately ran to scream with energy toward the hometown crowd.

Between his stoic energy and poor play, Jones didn’t have many chances to show his upbeat side in New England. Now, Jones is having fun and then some in his return as a starting quarterback.
