WATCH: Another Mac Jones Awful Interception Keeps New England Patriots Offense Stagnant

The New England Patriots offense is still stuck in the mud in Las Vegas, the latest drive stopped by a horrendous Mac Jones interception.

The New England Patriots can point many fingers in a lot of directions for their failures this season. Injuries. Porous offensive line. Lack of offensive weapons.

But another consistent problem reared its ugly head Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas: The inaccuracy and ineptitude of Mac Jones. The third-year quarterback continues his alarming regression, throwing a Red Zone interception that stopped a rare Patriots' productive drive.

Mac Jones, at it again in Las Vegas

Rolling to his right out of the pocket, Jones spotted a wide-open Hunter Henry at the Raiders' 20-yard line. He lofted a horrendous pass, however, that sailed about two yards behind and seven yards over the head of the tight end. The errant pass was easily picked off by Raiders' safety Tre'von Moehrig at Las Vegas' 12-yard line.

INT! MAC JONES! THREW IT RIGHT TO THE DEFENDER

He's reportedly on a "short leash" today... this is guy.

It is Jones' seventh turnover in the last three games. This one extended New England's unfathomable streak of 38 consecutive drives without a touchdown. The Pats last found the end zone when Jones hit tight end Pharoah Brown with a touchdown pass early in the second quarter of the Week 3 win over the New York Jets.

Jones is only 8 of 14 for 97 yards in the first half of this snoozefest between two of the NFL's three worst offenses. Called up from the practice squad this week, rookie Malik Cunningham played one snap each at receiver and quarterback.

The Patriots did get a 43-yard field goal by Chad Ryland to finally get on the scoreboard, but trail the Raiders 13-3 at halftime.
