All season, Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has been gracious with reporters even under trying circumstances – gamely sticking to polite answers about being a good teammate and doing what the team needs.
On Monday, following New England’s 38-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills in their penultimate game of the year, Newton finally expressed some of the frustrations that have simmered over the course of a disappointing season.
“It’s extremely frustrating knowing what you’re capable of, having belief in yourself, but it’s just not showing when it counts the most,” Newton said.
Newton, who has held firm as New England’s starting quarterback all year, was pulled in the third quarter as Buffalo’s onslaught raged.
