After Monday night’s loss to the Bears, there appears to be some quarterback controversy surrounding the Patriots. And when coach Bill Belichick spoke to media members Tuesday morning, he wouldn’t give a definitive answer on who the team’s starting quarterback is.
During the second quarter before the 33–14 loss, Belichick pulled starter Mac Jones, who just returned from a high ankle sprain, in favor of rookie Bailey Zappe. Jones was benched after throwing for just 13 yards and one interception. When asked if Jones will be the starter if he’s healthy going forward, Belichick refused to answer.
“Again, that’s a hypothetical question,” he said. “Let’s see where that is and what that is.”
