Patriots QB Bailey Zappe: ‘Pretty Unreal’ To Be Able To Play Steelers At ‘Heinz FIeld’

While no official announcement has been made, the Pittsburgh Steelers should probably anticipate seeing QB Bailey Zappe under center for the New England Patriots. Head coach Bill Belichick opted for this past game to make the move to Zappe from Mac Jones, and though things didn’t get any better—as in, they didn’t score any points—indications point to him sticking with that change.

Zappe, a second-year quarterback out of Western Kentucky, completed 13 of 25 passes against the Los Angeles Chargers for 141 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. He was also sacked five times. But Jones wasn’t offering much.
