Patriots quarterback Cam Newton, benched during the team’s 33-6 loss to the 49ers on Sunday after throwing three interceptions, completed just nine passes for less than 100 yards.
Part of the issue, beyond an array of other struggles New England has had on offense, was Newton’s accuracy.
On Tuesday, Patriots offensive coaches were asked about the 31-year-old quarterback’s throwing mechanics.
“Mechanically, I think sometimes we’re looking at everything — everybody’s mechanics, everybody’s fundamentals,” quarterbacks coach Jedd Fisch explained.
As Fisch noted, Newton’s two-week layoff due to a positive COVID-19 test kept him off the practice field.
