Three former Alabama quarterbacks each find their playoff hopes and positioning depending on their teams' performances as well as that of some other teams.
Jones has struggled this year while his backup shined in his absence during injury. Now, that backup is on the field with a perfectly healthy Jones on the bench.
Week 3 of the NFL ended with the New York Giants losing to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, bringing the number of undefeated teams in the league down to two: the Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams are led by former Alabama quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts respectively.
New England will turn to Brian Hoyer and Bailey Zappe while Jones is recovering. Unfortunately, Hoyer has lost 11 consecutive starts, which is the longest active streak in the NFL.
