The second half of Monday night’s game was yet another audition for Jarrett Stidham, and now the quarterback and the rest of the NFL will wait to see whether he’s earned a callback.
Stidham replaced starter Cam Newton midway through the third quarter of the Patriots’ lackluster 38-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills, seeing action for the fifth time this season. The second-year QB finished 4 of 11 for 44 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions and was sacked once.
He took over for Brian Hoyer against the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year and has come in for Newton on several other occasions, yet he’s been inconsistent overall in a limited sample size.
