Patriots HC Bill Belichick said Mac Jones will remain the team’s starter going forward.

Belichick said Jones wasn’t benched for a bad performance — which may be true, but Jones was atrocious in this one. He threw for 150 yards and two interceptions, and also lost a fumble. Two of his three turnovers resulted in touchdowns for the Cowboys defense, who harassed Jones and the Patriots all afternoon. Assuming Belichick isn’t pulling a smoke and mirrors act, Jones will start in Week 5 against the Saints.
