Fans went in on Mac Jones following what appeared to be a dangerous play during the New England Patriots’ loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. And so did Eli Apple.
The Pats quarterback stands accused of taking a cheap shot at the Bengals cornerback during the fourth quarter of their Week 16 matchup, with Jones wiping Apple out away from the actual play while the latter wasn’t looking.

“Yeah, well, they’re going home now,” he remarked.
Earlier this year, Jones kicked Chicago Bears defensive back Jaquan Brisker in the groin and is developing a reputation as a dirty player in just his second year as a pro.
