FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick decisively said he isn't changing quarterbacks after pulling Cam Newton early in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's 24-3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
"Cam's our quarterback," Belichick said in his postgame news conference, cutting off the question to give his answer.
Newton finished 9-of-16 for 119 yards against the Rams, with one costly interception that was returned 79 yards for a touchdown, as the Patriots' passing offense sputtered once again.
He was replaced by Jarrett Stidham with 10:14 remaining, and the Patriots trailing 24-3.
