Bill Belichick explained his decision to bench Mac Jones in Patriots’ loss vs. Colts

After the Patriots’ 10-6 loss to the Colts in Frankfurt, Germany, Bill Belichick repeated his recent talking points as he addressed yet another defeat.

“Obviously, a disappointing game,” Belichick began at his postgame press conference. “Similar theme we’ve had with other games this year. Just too many missed opportunities in all three phases of the game. Just have to play better situational football and do a better job taking advantage of the opportunities we had.”

New England, now 2-8, is also once again mired in question marks at the quarterback position after starter Mac Jones was benched for backup Bailey Zappe on the critical final drive of the game.
