The Raiders claimed Jones off waivers and in seven games, he had two interceptions which he returned for touchdowns. He had 25 tackles as well.
Jones appeared to be reacting to Mac Jones’ appearance in a Jacksonville Jaguars social media video. Mac Jones signed with the Jaguars after he was released by the Patriots.
"They said mac look happier in Jax lol it was NE it wasn’t bill NE fans," he wrote on X, adding several thumbs down emojis, "xx1000000000000."
He then responded to pushback from Patriots fans on Saturday.
