FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was pulled from a blowout loss for the second week in a row, with coach Bill Belichick turning to backup Bailey Zappe with 13:03 remaining in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.
The Patriots were trailing 31-0 at the time of the switch.
Last week, Jones was pulled by Belichick with 3:41 remaining in the third quarter against the Dallas Cowboys, with the team trailing 31-3. Belichick later said he didn't see any point of leaving Jones in the game, but that he would start in Week 5 at home against the Saints.
