FRANKFURT, Germany — During the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was benched… again. 

But this time was different, with the third-year quarterback leaving the game with a chance to win it on the line. And instead it was Bailey Zappe who went in. 

Jones was visibly upset after the decision was made, and after the game he addressed what happened. 

Here is everything Jones said: 

Q. What did you see on the interception?

MAC JONES: It was a terrible throw. Practiced it, hit it in practice, snugged the throw, and I knew where to go. I just didn't do it. Didn't do it right.

Q. Was it mechanical or –

MAC JONES: Yeah. There were some things I was working through, but it doesn't matter. No excuses.

Q. After the first drive in the third quarter, offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Bill O'Brien looked pretty angry on the sideline. What was he trying to communicate with you?

MAC JONES: Yeah, just try to go through my reads and hit the open guy. I've got to do a better job of that. It's really hard out there in the NFL. It's really good defense. But there was a lot of open guys out there that I could have hit.

Q. What was communicated to you when it came to the decision to put quarterback Bailey Zappe in the game?

MAC JONES: Yeah, they just told me I was out of the game, so I wasn't playing very good, so I got taken out of the game before the two-minute drive at the end of the game. Yeah, that's kind of what it was.

Q. What was your reaction to that decision by the coaching staff?

MAC JONES: I'm not sure. I think it's hard, right. It's a difficult situation. But at the end of the day, I really did want the team to win. I'll always be that person. I know that we didn't win, so it's hard for everybody, but I have to play better to not even be in that situation. It's not ideal for anybody. No one is going to do good in that situation.

Q. Do you still feel like head coach Bill Belichick has full faith in you as the starting quarterback of this team?

MAC JONES: I mean, at the end of the day, I've got to play better. To make people believe, you've got to be better. I'm not sure. I don't know.

Q. Do you still believe in yourself?

MAC JONES: Yeah, I do. Yeah, I put a lot of work into it. I've got a lot of faith in myself. But there's just things that got to get fixed, and just learn. Just keep learning and figure it out.

Q. Does this game feel any different? Does this kind of outcome now feel any different than maybe some of the past games?

MAC JONES: Yeah, a little bit. Just like I said, didn't play very well. I've played well in my career before, but just not right now. It's peaks and valleys, but I'm kind of in a valley right now, and just got to bounce back.
