Cam Newton's horrendous outing leads to benching from Bill Belichick

Bill Belichick made a quarterback change in the second half of Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Now the question becomes, will the change be for more than Week 7?

Cam Newton was bad on Sunday. He was 9-of-15 for 98 yards and three interceptions. After he threw his third interception on an errant pass, Belichick decided it was time to go with Jarrett Stidham. The Patriots trailed 30-6 at the time of that interception.

The Patriots’ offense has completely stagnated. There’s not much around Newton, but he’s not helping either.
