It is becoming harder and harder to defend the play of New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, and that was evident during Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jones threw a disastrous interception late in the second quarter when he missed a wide open Hunter Henry with a bad throw. CBS analyst Tony Romo did not hold back with his assessment after the play.

“This is just a horrendous throw by Mac Jones. This one, he’s had a couple this year he wants back, but this is going to be right up there.”

Romo tends to be pretty positive and measured in his comments, especially when it comes to quarterbacks. There was no way for him to sugarcoat this, though. Jones missed a throw that any starting quarterback should have been able to make, even when throwing under pressure.

There have been rumors that Jones is in danger of losing his starting job going forward. Sunday’s game probably will not help matters.
