Patriots fans shouldn’t have any qualms with Cam Newton starting vs Buffalo.
The New England Patriots being eliminated from playoff contention has resulted in fans and certain members of the media calling for a quarterback change.
If this was a meritocracy and the Patriots had a backup who was lighting up practice, that opinion would make sense, as Cam Newton has been brutal over the last four weeks, completing just 58.
