Patriots quarterback Mac Jones could face fine for low hit on Bengals cornerback

The NFL will review a low hit from Saturday’s Patriots-Bengals game for a potential fine against quarterback Mac Jones, a league source confirmed Monday.

Midway through the fourth quarter, with the ball at Cincinnati’s 30-yard line, Jones attempted to fling the football forward while getting tackled by Bengals safety Vonn Bell. The ball traveled just four or five yards before Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt scooped it and started sprinting down the field toward the opposite end zone.

As Pratt crossed New England’s 30-yard line, the closest players trailing him were Jones, Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton, and Bengals cornerback Eli Apple.
