There's no denying it: Cam Newton has not looked the same the last two games.
That, of course, comes following his return to action after contracting COVID-19.
Newton missed a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to a bout with the coronavirus, and in the two games since, he's been a mess. In losses to the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers, he's gone a combined 26-for-40 for 255 yards with no touchdowns and five interceptions.
Not good.
That's begged the question, has Newton's play been impacted by COVID-19? Bill Belichick shared his thoughts Tuesday morning.
"I don't think so," Belichick said in his video press conference. "I don't think that there's any -- I mean, we would have listed it on the injury report if there was -- but I don't think he's had any symptoms the whole way."
The 31-year-old remains the starter as the Patriots gear up to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
