Bill Belichick pulled Cam Newton in the fourth quarter of Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams but says that he remains the New England Patriots' quarterback.

"Cam's our quarterback," Belichick said after the 24-3 loss.

Newton finished 9-of-16 for 119 yards against the Rams, with one costly interception that was returned 79 yards for a touchdown. He was replaced by Jarrett Stidham with 10 minutes, 14 seconds remaining and the game out of reach.
