NFL 2021: Who are the backup quarterbacks starting in Week 13?
Trevor Siemian is likely to continue to lead the Saints offense in Week 13, but fans are asking for Taysom Hill. Sean Payton, Saint’s head coach, said, during the midweek press conference: “We’ll see”. Another backup starting is Colt McCoy with the Cardinals if Murray is ruled out.
NFL 2021: Will Cam Newton start in Week 13?
Cam Newton will start again this week with the Carolina Panthers after a disappointing two weeks as a starter. But if Newton closes the regular season with a negative record, it is very likely that he will have to think about his future with another team.
