New England Patriots CB Marcus Jones was fined $9,151 for a low block that occurred in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The incident came with 3:22 left in the first quarter, and Jones was flagged on the play. The NFL’s Gameday Accountability page announced the fine.
It’s a similar play that got Steelers’ CB Jalen Ramsey flagged in Week 1. On the screen, Jones appeared to be trying to make a tackle, but he went low and took out TE Pat Freiermuth. This year, that sort of play has been a point of emphasis across the NFL, and Jones was flagged for it after Ramsey was in Week 1 against the New York Jets.
