New England currently sits on the edge of the playoff picture after being knocked down to “in the hunt” after Sunday’s gut wrenching, last-second 30–24 loss to the Raiders.
When coach Bill Belichick was asked if he expects to keep Jones as the starter for the remainder of the season, he didn’t really answer the question directly. While it is presumed that Jones will be the starter vs. the Bengals on Saturday, it could still be up in the air until Belichick officially names the starter.
“Yeah, the plan is to try and beat Cincinnati,” Belichick said when asked if Jones will start for the rest of the season.
