Patriots bench Cam Newton, Jarrett Stidham takes over against 49ers in Week 7
New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was benched during the fourth quarter of Week 7's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
What It Means:
Newton was benched with the Patriots down 27 points to start their first drive of the fourth quarter. Newton struggled heavily before the Patriots decided to make a switch, completing just 9 of 15 attempts for 98 yards and 3 interceptions. Stidham will take over and operate a Patriots offense that is dealing with issues that extend far beyond Newton's recent play.
Newton scored 2.82 FanDuel points in Week 7 before being pulled.
