Patriots have themselves to blame for their problematic quarterback situation

FOXBOROUGH — On Monday, the Jets announced their plans to start Tim Boyle over 2021 second overall draft pick Zach Wilson at quarterback.

After standing by Wilson through 11 weeks, coach Robert Saleh is giving Boyle a chance to jump-start a sputtering offense, which hasn’t scored a touchdown since the first quarter of Week 8.

“This is just another situation to see if we can give another guy an opportunity,” Saleh said. “See if something can change.”

Meanwhile, in New England, coach Bill Belichick rebuffed nearly every question about the Patriots’ quarterback situation this week.
