But the fans’ joy was short-lived. The Patriots went on to suffer a 14-33 loss. While Zappe had an excellent start, he could not keep that momentum going. New England was unable to score during the second half of the game. Currently standing at 3-4, and at the bottom of the AFC East, Belichick’s boys have their work cut out for them.

This was Jones’ first start since Week 3. Zappe, who’s been filling in for Jones, seems to have become New England’s new favorite. Head coach Bill Belichick will have to rethink strategy and come to a decision regarding his quarterback crisis. Fans online are beginning to question the indecision surrounding the status of a starting quarterback of the Patriots.
