How has each rookie QB done in their first year against Bill Belichick?

You guys asked for the breakdown, and here it is. With Houtson’s Deshaun Watson set to meet the Patriots this week, here’s a complete statistical look at every quarterback who has faced Bill Belichick and the Patriots during their rookie season.

Overall, the rookies who had the most success against the Patriots? Geno Smith was the last first-year signal-caller to beat Belichick and New England, with that victory coming in 2013 at MetLife. Russell Wilson did the same in 2012 with the Seahawks in Seattle, while Colt McCoy (2010) and Mark Sanchez (2009) also pulled off early wins over New England. But the most impressive was probably in 2004, when Ben Roethlisberger, in his first start against the Patriots as a rookie, went 18-for-24 with 196 yards and a pair of touchdowns. That contest, a 34-20 win over New England, also halted the Patriots' 21-game win streak.

It’s going to be an uphill battle for Watson: Since 2001, no rookie quarterback in his first or second start against the Patriots has beaten Belichick in New England.
