New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has been told to drop Mac Jones and stick with Bailey Zappe, after the back-up quarterback once again outclassed the regular starter.
The Patriots suffered a brutal 33-14 defeat to the Chicago Bears on Monday night, but it was Jones that started the game before being hauled off. Two unsuccessful drives and an interception led to Belichick making the call in the second quarter, and Zappe went on to inspire two touchdowns.
Belichick was adamant after the game that the switch was in his plans all along, even though many have speculated that isn't the case as Jones didn't feature again. And now the coach has been told to drop Jones all together, as Zappe looks better in the quarterback position.
