Patriots quarterback Mac Jones may have finished Sunday’s ugly loss to the Cowboys on the bench, but coach Bill Belichick seemed unready to make any definitive statements on his future post-game.
Belichick, who’s no stranger to keeping his comments brief, began his media session with a statement harping on the team needing to improve and being “a lot better” than they showed in the 38–3 rout. After answering two questions about the team with a reference to his statement, Belichick was next asked why Jones was pulled for backup Bailey Zappe with 3:41 left in the third quarter.
His reply? “I didn’t think there was any point in leaving him in the game,” Belichick said.
