Jaguars LB Myles Jack gets ejected for throwing punch vs. Chiefs

There have been some fiery plays in the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs’ game, but apparently there are some fiery tempers as well.

Jaguars middle linebacker Myles Jack was ejected from the game for throwing a punch and did not appear to take the news well.

Jack’s ejection was the result of a scuffle with Chiefs receiver Demarcus Robinson, who got into it with Jack after receiver Sammy Watkins took the fourth-year linebacker down in the end-zone.

After, the Jags staff had a hard time removing Jack from the field who was very heated by the altercation. As a result, veteran Najee Goode was inserted into the game in his place.

Jack’s actions on the field probably won’t sit well with the staff because ultimately his team needs him for Week 1’s marquee matchup. Additionally, he was just paid an new extension worth over $50 million and was named a team captain so Sunday’s incident definitely wasn’t a good look.
