Bailey Zappe took the field at AT&T Stadium during the New England Patriots' loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon. 

And it was a move that was very controversial, with Zappe replacing a healthy Mac Jones who showed clear struggles throughout the game. 

Zappe finished the game going 4-for-9 for 57 yards. While he didn't get into the end zone, he also didn't give up any turnovers which was a positive for the offense on some levels.

Jones, who came out in the third quarter, finished Sunday's contest going 12-for-21 with 150 yards, including one fumble and two interceptions.

Here is everything Bailey Zappe said after the game: 

On his mindset when he was told he was going in for Mac

“Yeah, you know do my job, whatever it is, hand the ball off, make my points, play good football. You know just do my job and that’s really about it.”

On what unfolded on the field

“We come out everyday wanting to win, so when you don’t get that it always things that you can look back and learn from, the good thing about it that (we) have 13 more games to go, and we always have another opportunity next week. We just need to come out, fix the mistakes that we made, continue to improve and that’s the great part about football.”

On what Mac said as he took over on the field

“Yeah, you know there’s some stuff that goes on and ill keep that private between me, (Bill O’Brien), Mac and Coach Belichick but you know the biggest thing is just always staying prepared and just do the best for the team whenever your name is called.”

On the competition and what he sees in Mac as a leader

“I mean, I just try to do my job whenever I come out on the field, trying to locate defenses and stuff that they’re doing tendency wise looking at that, just trying to do everything I can do whenever I am out on the field, you know just do my job. I support Mac whenever he’s on the field and I am off, and like I said, I just try to do everything I can, and vice versa.”
