Patriots' Bill Belichick again pulls Mac Jones in big loss

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was pulled from a blowout loss for the second week in a row, but coach Bill Belichick said after Sunday's 34-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints that Jones is still No. 1 on the depth chart.

"Yeah," Belichick answered. "There were a lot of problems. It certainly wasn't all on him."

Belichick removed Jones from Sunday's game with 13:03 remaining in the fourth quarter, citing the score as the reason. The Patriots were trailing 31-0 at the time of the switch.
