CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers edge rusher Haason Reddick called the first-quarter no-call in which New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones held Brian Burns' right ankle as the outside linebacker twisted to get away after a strip sack "egregious'' and "completely dirty.''
Burns returned after spending time in the sideline medical tent, but in the fourth quarter he had to again be helped off the field with an injury to the same ankle. Whether the two were related was not immediately known.
"Definitely thought it was a dirty play,'' Reddick said.
