"It was just kind of fun and games," Jones said with a smile. "It was just in the middle of the play. They actually like called out our play, so I was like, ‘Ah. Nice catch.’ It was just fun and games."

The Patriots would lose 17-16 but Jones is already focusing on the Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets.

"So, 24-hour rule. After 24 hours – for some people it’s less, but for me – after that just move on and play the next play. Play the next game. You’re only as good as your last game. We lost and that’s what people remember."
