New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien says he views Mac Jones' struggles against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4 as an outlier.

Jones threw two interceptions in Sunday's 38-3 loss, one of which was dangerously delivered across the field and returned for a touchdown. The quarterback also lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown while attempting to run away from pressure.

"Some of the decisions that he made were very uncharacteristic of Mac," O'Brien said. "He's just trying to make a play, he's wanting to win, he's very competitive. I think you'll see a lot of improvement in Mac as we keep moving forward here."

Bill Belichick said after Sunday's game that Jones is still New England's top quarterback.
