The New England Patriots are officially headed towards their bye week, and they do so with plenty of question marks at the quarterback position.
In Sunday’s 10-6 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts, starting quarterback Mac Jones was benched after an ugly late fourth quarter interception in the red area. With Jones sidelined, Bailey Zappe took over for the final two-minute drive.
“I thought it was time for a change-up,” Bill Belichick said of the switch. “I make the decision, that’s what it was.”
While Jones did head to the X-Ray room following the game, Belichick’s comments appeared to indicate the move was not injury related.
