Mac Jones and the New England Patriots saw their 2021-22 NFL season conclude in unfortunate fashion this past weekend.
In their opening round playoff showdown against the Buffalo Bills, the Patriots got absolutely demolished 47-17. Jones couldn’t get anything going in the outing, ultimately getting picked off twice, sacked three times and not really getting much of anything done offensively until the game was totally out of reach.
Afterward, Jones remained upbeat.
“What an unbelievable ride this first year has been,” he posted on social media.
“There’s no other group of guys I’d rather work with, grow with and compete with. Cannot wait to play in front of the greatest fans in the world again! #GoPats #JustGettingStarted”

Jones girlfriend, Sophie Scott, also took a moment to acknowledge the season her beau had.
“Rookie year ✔️ I’m so proud of you!” she wrote on Instagram.

Scott has become a bit of a well-known personality in the football community recently. Between her different responses to Jones’ games and the influential role she played in him being named starter, she is absolutely a rising viral star.
In addition, her Instagram posts routinely do very well:

Despite how the season ultimately ended, Jones had a great rookie campaign. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here.
Should Jones continue to grow and evolve at a Joe Burrow-esque pace, he will undoubtedly soon become one of the most promising young passers in the NFL. And as his profile grows, so will Scott’s.
