Jamal Adams Says NFL is 'a Damn Joke' After Being Fined for Hit on Baker Mayfield

Jets safety Jamal Adams blasted the NFL on Wednesday for fining him for a late hit on Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield during Monday night's game.

Adams, who was called for roughing the passer on the play, was fined $21,000 for the penalty. The hit came on a third-and-8 midway through the first quarter when Mayfield rolled out to his left and tossed an incomplete pass in the face of Adams's oncoming rush.
