Newton completed 9 of 16 passes for 119 yards with an interception and ended the night with a 53.9 passer rating. Newton spoke before Belichick and said it wasn't his call on who should play QB. What is certain is that any momentum Newton and the Patriots had with four wins in the last five games entering Thursday night has come crashing down.
