Why Cam Newton Can’t Describe Mood On Patriots’ Flight Home From Houston

'I wanted it to be a nightmare'

Sunday’s loss to the Houston Texans might have erased any remaining hopes of the New England Patriots qualifying for the NFL playoffs.

So, the mood on the flight home must have been rather somber, right?

Well, probably, but Cam Newton wouldn’t know. As he explained Monday morning on WEEI, the Patriots quarterback was sound asleep, apparently hoping to enter a very dark place.

Check out this tweet from WEEI’s Ryan Hannable.

If nothing else, Newton’s weekly WEEI interviews have proven infinitely more interesting than Tom Brady’s were.

What do you think?  Leave a comment.

Newton and the Patriots will look to get back on track Sunday when they host Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals.
