Panthers players and coaches were less than thrilled with Mac Jones after Sunday’s game, calling out the Patriots QB for a “dirty play.”
The play took place in the first quarter. Jones dropped back to throw, and Panthers defensive end Brian Burns beat the Patriots’ offensive line to Jones’ blindside. Burns leveled Jones with a hit that jarred the ball loose and sent the rookie sprawling.
Then Jones grabbed Burns as he rose to pursue the play. Jones was only visible on screen for a second, but Burns could be seen dragging Jones along behind him for a moment as Jones gripped his ankle.
