Mac Jones Accused of 'Dirty' Play by Panthers Defender

Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was accused of a dirty play after his team's 24–6 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Jones was sacked and stripped by defensive end Brian Burns in the first quarter of the game. After the ball came loose, in an attempt to keep Burns from recovering the ball, Jones grabs Burns's foot while he's on the ground.

Frankie Luvu would end up recovering the ball for Carolina, but Burns was hurt on the play. He went to the sidelines and into the blue medical tent but eventually returned to the game. After the game, Panthers outside linebacker Haason Reddick called out Jones for the play.
