ARLINGTON, Texas — The New England Patriots pulled third-year starting quarterback Mac Jones after two turnovers led directly to touchdowns for the Dallas Cowboys. Jones had a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, and an interception that DaRon Bland returned for a score just before halftime Sunday. The Patriots went on to a 38-3 loss, their worst in coach Bill Belichick's 29 seasons. It was 31-3 with 3:41 left in the third quarter when second-year quarterback Bailey Zappe took over for Jones. New England has averaged only 13 1/2 a game while winning one of its first four games. Jones was 12-of-21 passing for 150 yards with two interceptions.
