Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has had enough of reporters asking him about Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe.
Following the New England Patriots’ 33-14 home loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday night, head coach Bill Belichick refused to make a determination on the Pats’ starting quarterback moving forward.
The Patriots head coach had clearly grown tired of the questions which is why he had a testy exchange with a reporter who asked him about the team’s future quarterback situation.
“Stop trying to trap me into things about the future,” Belichick said, per team insider Dakota Randall of NESN.
The Patriots went three-and-out twice under Jones on Monday night, He also threw an interception. He finished the game with 13 yards, no touchdowns and a pick on 3-of-6 passing, plus three carries for 24 yards.
He would be benched and Zappe would come in and provide an immediate spark as he led two scoring drives when the Patriots trailed 10-0.

However, he wasn’t good enough as the Bears reeled off 23 unanswered points. Overall, he completed 14 of 22 passing attempts for 185 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Zappe is 2-0 as a starter, and he has completed 70.7 percent of his passes for 781 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions in four games. If mac continues to struggle, it will be impossible to keep Zappe on that bench.
