Patriots QB Mac Jones is gaining a reputation as a dirty player.
During Saturday’s Pats-Bengals game, Jones threw the ball to the ground and a Bengals player decided to pick it up and run it back. Even though Jones knew the play was going to be called back he dove at a Bengals player’s knees for whatever reason.

Fans ripped into Jones over the play.

I’d argue this is worthy of a suspension and a big fine from Mac Jones.
Incredibly dirty. pic.twitter.com/IhPh0m8r8K

This is the 4th play that I can think of off the top of my head where Mac Jones has deliberately tried to hurt an opponent.
Just a overall dirty player. There is no way around it. https://t.co/moSfsPtEFV

Yeah that's lame. He blocked someone who wasn't making a play on that anyways. If Apple blocked Mac it'd be illegal too lol https://t.co/SaBNYQYCTx
