Despite being benched in the third quarter of Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Mac Jones will remain the New England Patriots' starting quarterback.

"No sense in leaving him in the game," head coach Bill Belichick said, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Jones left the game having completed 12 of 21 passes for 150 yards with a 39.9 passer rating, zero touchdowns, two interceptions, and a fumble.

Two of Jones' turnovers were returned for touchdowns by the Cowboys. 

Despite all of that, Belichick told the media that putting Jones on the sideline was unrelated to his  performance.
