Every week the NFL reviews their games for any illegal plays that would warrant a fine. They do so because not every illegal action is caught by the referees on the field, so a fresh set of eyes is needed to ensure no one is getting away with something that would reflect poorly on their brand.
In Monday night’s Chicago Bears vs New England Patriots game, there was one such play that should have resulted in a fine. Patriots’ quarterback Mac Jones slid and lifted his foot to kick Bears’ rookie Jaquan Brisker in the testicles.
