New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is under fire for what many are calling a dirty play, and the quarterback explained himself during his appearance on WEEI Monday.

Jones went to block Cincinnati Bengals corner Eli Apple on what was originally called a fumble. It was later deemed an incomplete pass, as the Patriots were trying to make a comeback with 6:18 left in the game. Apple took offense to the block and called out Jones, following Cincinnati’s win.

Twitter called out Jones following the block as well, with the video making its rounds across the platform.
