Mac Jones and the New England Patriots continue to be on a tear in the 2021 season. The Patriots’ latest win was on Sunday, a 36-13 victory in Foxborough over the Tennessee Titans. New England has now won 6 straight games and has outscored its opponents 211-63 in that stretch.
Jones put together another strong performance, going 23-of-32 for 310 yards and 2 touchdowns. His passer rating was 123.2 on the afternoon. With that, he now has 6 games of a passer rating of 100 or more. And, as you can see below, no other quarterback taken in the 1st round of the 2021 NFL Draft has 1 to his name:

Can Jones and the Patriots make it 7 wins in a row? They’ll look to do just that on Dec. 5 as they face the Buffalo Bills.
