Former Patriots QB Faces Terrifying Moment in Marina Del Rey – But the New England Steel Within Him Keeps Him Standing
Marina Del Rey, California – On the morning of the Week 5 clash between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, Mac Jones, former quarterback of the New England Patriots, lived through a morning he’ll never forget — and not for good reasons.
According to The Athletic, Jones reportedly saw a body floating in the water just outside the team’s hotel. The sight left him frozen, and police were quickly called to investigate. Teammates recalled that as the team departed the hotel, the marina area remained cordoned off with police cars and investigators present.
Yet only a few hours later, Mac Jones stepped onto the field at SoFi Stadium with a calm that sent chills down spines. He threw for 342 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no turnovers, leading the 49ers to a thrilling 26–23 victory over the Rams.
When asked about that haunting morning, Jones spoke with both honesty and strength — embodying the discipline and mental fortitude forged under Bill Belichick:
“I never thought I’d start a game day by witnessing… something like that. That sight honestly gave me goosebumps. But back when I was with the Patriots, I learned something called mental toughness — and that’s what gave me the courage to step onto the field and win.”
The composure, emotional control, and unwavering discipline Jones carried from his Patriots days seemed to help him overcome one of the darkest mornings of his life.
The victory over the Rams not only strengthened the 49ers’ position in the standings but also stood as proof that the ‘Patriot Way’ — the unbreakable New England steel — still runs through Mac Jones’ veins, even as he wears a different jersey.
