“That was bad,” former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman noted on Twitter following his ex-club’s 10-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The defeat was the Patriots’ eighth in 10 games this season, and it might have been a breaking point in the team’s post-Tom Brady era.
Despite the game being close in the fourth quarter, the Patriots decided to bench starting quarterback Mac Jones following a back-breaking interception in the red zone. The next snap was taken by backup Bailey Zappe, who has now replaced Jones in-game three times this season.
