Patriots quarterback Mac Jones isn’t anticipated to be suspended for allegedly hitting Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner within the groin throughout Sunday’s 15-10 win at New York, however might face a effective, in line with the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Pelissero reported Tuesday morning: “The NFL reviews all plays and it’s possible, though not certain, that Jones could be fined.”
Gardner shoved Jones to the bottom after the quarterback was stopped on a third-and-short play within the fourth quarter of Sunday’s sport. According to Gardner, Jones delivered a low blow after he was stopped and eliminated himself from the pile, which prompted the altercation. The All-Pro cornerback posted a grainy video of the incident to social media Monday afternoon, with the caption: “posting this so I don’t get fined lol.”
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini later posted a clearer video of the incident, which seems to point out Jones hitting Gardner under the waist.
Jones denied delivering an inexpensive shot after the sport and on Monday afternoon throughout a weekly interview on WEEI’s “Jones and Mego.”
“Sauce is one of the best corners in the NFL,” Jones stated. “So, I have a lot of respect for him, and on that play, just nothing was intentional. I just got up and went back to the huddle, and that’s it.”
Jones was then requested particularly what occurred earlier than Gardner shoved him.
“Um, it’s football,” he stated. “So just trying to get up and go back to the huddle, and like I just said, nothing there.”
Several NFL gamers took to the social media platform “X” on Monday to decry the hit and name Jones a grimy participant. Jones has now been accused of being a grimy participant after separate incidents in all three of his NFL seasons. On Monday night time, former Patriots defensive finish Chris Long referred to as Jones a “Top 5 Dirtiest QB (of) all time.”
