Bill Belichick: ‘I would imagine’ Cam Newton starts season finale vs. New York Jets

Cam Newton will get at least one more shot in a Patriots uniform.

Appearing on WEEI Tuesday afternoon, Bill Belichick was asked whether Newton or Jarrett Stidham will start the season finale against the New York Jets.

“I would imagine [Newton will start],” Belichick said. “We’re going through that right now. We’ll see.”

Though Newton was benched in the third quarter of Monday’s blowout loss to the Bills, Belichick said the veteran’s play wasn’t to blame after the game.

“Cam did a good job for us,” he said in his postgame press conference.
