Brian Hoyer played himself off the field and Jarett Stidham got the call in relief for the New England Patriots’ Monday night in Kansas City.
After Hoyer struggled, putting it kindly, Bill Belichick turned to the former Auburn star, Stidham with another former Auburn star Cam Newton sidelined by COVID-19.
Stidham came on and led a touchdown drive. He lofted a pass to the back of the end zone where N’Keal Harry, a first-round pick in 2019, made a wonderful catch. It was Stidham’s first NFL touchdown pass.
