After losing to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, the New England Patriots fell to 1-2 on the season, and now they might be without starting QB Mac Jones for several weeks after a high ankle sprain he suffered.
The rough start in New England has Brandon Marshall saying Bill Belichick’s seat is heating up.
On the latest installment of Inside the NFL on Paramount+, the former NFL wide receiver discussed the Patriots’ bad start to the season while adding that losing Tom Brady can no longer be used as an excuse for the team’s offensive struggles, and Belichick should be in jeopardy of losing his job.
