New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been fined by the NFL even though he didn’t draw a penalty for the objectionable action during the game.
The NFL has fined the former Alabama All-American $10,609 for hitting Buffalo Bills defensive end A.J. Epenesa with the football in the Patriots’ 24-10 loss on Dec. 1, NFL Network reported.
Epenesa sacked Jones on a second-and-8 snap from the Buffalo 8-yard line with 2:13 left to play and the Bills leading 24-7. When Jones got up, he backhanded the football at Epenesa.
