Both Mac Jones, who New England drafted 15th overall, and Zach Wilson, who the Jets snagged in the second-round, led their teams to losses in their NFL debut. However, Mac Jones has a better chance of redeeming himself in the Patriots’ Week 2 matchup. Wilson managed to impress the Jets’ new coaching staff throughout preseason, but encountered several struggles in their Week 1 matchup against the Panthers.

Most of the questions center on a recently disclosed intelligence briefing on Aug. 6, 2001, at which the president was warned that, among other threats, Al Qaeda-linked terrorists might try to hijack an airliner.
