In his first action since Sept. 25, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones threw an interception with 13:08 left in the first half of a 33-14 loss to the Chicago Bears and never took the field again on Monday night.

But now it seems there might have been more to Chicago safety Jaquan Brisker’s interception of Jones’ throw to tight end Jonnu Smith than met the eye at the time.

Doug Kyed, the NFL reporter for Pro Football Focus, posted on Tuesday a video of the interception, and in slow motion, it appears the football might have touched one of the wires supporting ESPN’s SkyCam before Brisker pulled it down with one hand.

The effect on the football’s flight might have been negligible, but if the pass did hit the wire, the Patriots should have gotten another chance at second-and-10 from the Chicago 36-yard line.

In the NFL Rulebook, Rule 7, Section 2, Article 1(p) states: “If a loose ball in play strikes a video board, guide wire, sky cam, or any other object, the ball will be dead immediately, and the down will be replayed at the previous spot.”

Those types of plays are reviewable, too.

Jones played the Patriots’ first three possessions on Monday night after missing the previous three games because of an ankle injury. Rookie Bailey Zappe went the rest of the way at quarterback for New England, but Patriots coach Bill Belichick said the former Alabama All-American had not been benched.

Belichick said New England had planned to use both quarterbacks against the Bears and he had intended for Jones to re-enter the game later, but he reconsidered because of Chicago’s dominance of the contest.

The Patriots play the New York Jets on Sunday. After Monday night’s game, Belichick declined to say who would start at quarterback for New England in the game.
