He’s just 3-of-18 on those deep targets for 53 yards with two touchdowns and ranks fifth in deep passing rate, 20th in deep passing completions and 31st in deep passing yards.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots get good news at Wednesday practice before Cowboys game New England Patriots | Sources: Patriots adding defensive line depth after recent injuries New England Patriots | Ex-Patriots captain: Mac Jones must stop getting involved in dirty incidents New England Patriots | ...
