After three seasons as the New England Patriots’ starter, Jones is competing for the backup spot behind Trevor Lawrence on the Jacksonville depth chart. Against the Buccaneers, the former Alabama All-American completed 16-of-23 passes for 210 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and ran for 14 yards on six carries.

Jacksonville’s plan for Saturday night had been for Jones and C.J. Beathard to play one half apiece.

Jones started and had the Jaguars ahead 10-7 at halftime with a 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Parker Washington with 7:30 left in the first half.

Beathard completed 5-of-7 passes for 40 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions and ran twice for 10 yards. But he also was roughed up, sacked three times for 32 yards in losses, and left the game in the fourth quarter.

Jones returned to the field and threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Brevin Easton with 5:07 to play.
