Patriots QB Cam Newton spent the end of the Patriots' 33–6 loss to the 49ers on the bench and he's moving forward like his job is in jeopardy.
"For any type of competitor, do you feel embarrassed? Yeah. ...The first thing I said to myself coming home was, 'You keep playing games like that, bro, and it's going to be a permanent change,'" Newton said during his Monday morning radio appearance on WEEI.
Newton was benched for backup Jarrett Stidham early in the fourth quarter as New England struggled against San Francisco.
