Marcus Jones scores touchdown on first offensive snap

2U7dRyw_0aww
Chris Simms and Mike Florio think that Buffalo's AFC East showdown in New England is a difficult matchup to pick, but both agree that the Bills are good enough to outscore the Patriots on offense.

Marcus Jones played offense, defense and special teams at the University of Houston last season. Since the Patriots made Jones a third-round selection, they have used him at cornerback and as a returner.

He entered Thursday Night Football having played 75 defensive snaps and 107 on special teams.

On his first offensive snap of the season, Jones lined up in the slot and caught a quick pass from Mac Jones. In a blur, he was gone. Marcus Jones ran 48 yards to the end zone, with only Damar Hamlin having a chance at him at the line of scrimmage before Jordan Poyer dove at Jones at the 15 to no avail.

It has given the Patriots a 7-3 lead.

The Bills scored on their first drive, getting a 48-yard field goal from Tyler Bass.
