Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is under review by the NFL for a low hit on Bengals defensive back Eli Apple in Saturday’s loss to Cincinnati.
Jones was one of several players in pursuit of Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt, who recovered what was thought to have been a fumble. The play was overturned and ruled incomplete.
Pats wide receiver Tyquan Thornton was chasing after Pratt after his recovery, while Apple was sprinting toward Thornton to block him. As he was chasing after Thornton, Jones hit Apple low to impede him from his would-be block on Thornton.
