Following the New England Patriots’ 24-6 win over the Carolina Panthers, linebacker Haason Reddick was not happy with quarterback Mac Jones.
The play in question happened as Brian Burns sacked Jones in the second quarter. Burns was able to force of fumble, one that the Panthers recovered and put the offense further in Patriots territory. As Carolina scooped the ball and returned it, Jones grabbed Burns at the leg, a clearly illegal play. The drive would end in a field goal, giving the Panthers an early lead, one they couldn’t hold.
Burns finished the game with five tackles and the sack, but left the game with an ankle injury after Jones yanked at his left. Reddick was not pleased with how the play unfolded.
Reddick said it was “egregious” and “mind-blowing” that no flag was thrown. https://t.co/qDYM6NyndX
