Mac Jones on Brian Burns: ‘Everything’s good’ after ankle grab play

Mac Jones and Brian Burns have made amends after a controversial play from last season.

Burns sacked Jones during last November’s regular season game at Carolina, forcing a fumble. When Burns got up to chase the action, Jones grabbed his ankle and brought him down. After the play, Burns was on the ground holding his ankle in pain.

Panthers players called the play “dirty” and “some BS.”

But Jones said after practice Wednesday that he and Burns have talked things out and made up at the Pro Bowl last February.
