Bengals defensive back Eli Apple accused Patriots quarterback Mac Jones of tripping him during a fumble return that was eventually called back because of a penalty.
“Of course I did (notice it). He tripped me,” Apple said after Saturday’s game. “I thought it was a dirty play. He’s done that before, I’ve seen it.”
The NFL will review the play to evaluate whether or not Jones should be fined, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
“#Patriots QB Mac Jones will be evaluated by the NFL for a possible fine for his low hit on #Bengals CB Eli Apple,” Rapoport wrote.
