Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones was accused of a dirty play on Sunday, after being strip-sacked by Panthers defensive end Brian Burns. Bill Belichick rejected that idea during a Monday radio appearance.
As Burns hit Jones from the blind side, the ball popped out behind him. Burns popped up to join the scrum for the ball, which was recovered by Carolina linebacker Frankie Luvu, Jones grabbed his ankle and twisted it, taking Burns back down.
The video of the play certainly doesn't look good for Jones:
Burns would go to the medical tent after the play but eventually returned to the game.
