Should You Start or Sit Mac Jones in Week 16?
Jones is 0 for 17 with five interceptions when throwing the ball more than 20 yards downfield this season. That is hard to comprehend, but it’s true.
Truly awful.
I was ready to talk up this matchup with Maxx Crosby on the shelf, but the Raiders, on a consistent blitz rate, saw their pressure rate actually spike last week, their first game without their defensive star. We are asking for Jones to support Brian Thomas Jr. and that’s about it.
