New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was seen chasing Mac Jones down the sideline for a high-five after the second score in Sunday’s preseason finale between the Patriots and the New York Giants.
Jones gave the Patriots a 19-7 lead by directing back-to-back touchdown drives in the second half.
It is understood that the two players are competing for the Patriots’ starting quarterback job. Nevertheless, the two players have appeared to be getting along well.
Jones claimed he failed to notice his teammate, saying: “I didn’t hear him or see him, and then I was like, ‘Oh, my bad.'”
“That’s Cam for you,” Jones told reporters after the game. “He’s happy and he’s a great teammate. I’m happy to be in the same room and just learn from him because he’s a great dude.”
Head coach Bill Belichick was asked whether a decision on who will get the starting job had been made. He refused to name a player.
“No, we still have a lot of decisions to make,” Belichick said.
While it is uncertain who will get the job, Newton got his high five, and the Patriots won the game 22-20.
