Cam Newton had a lot to say about Josh McDaniels’ play-calling and the criticism that’s forming about his body of work as offensive coordinator in 2020. Newton was nothing but positive in discussing the coach.
Though the Patriots lost, 24-3, to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday in Week 14, Newton didn’t point out any flaws in the team’s game plan, which included seven consecutive run plays on a drive that stalled on the 2-yard line on a turnover on downs. With four consecutive running plays on goal-to-go, Newton didn’t get a shot to throw for the end zone, an increasingly predictable element of New England’s offense.
