The defeated the , 22-18, Whitney Mercilus Jersey at Gillette Stadium on Christmas Eve in a game that involved what Bengals cornerback called a "dirty play" by Patriots quarterback . The NFL apparently sided with Apple as Jones is reportedly getting fined $11,139 for a low block, according to. The hit occurred during a change of po se sion, at which point all blocks below the waist is deemed illegal.After recovering a fumble, Bengals linebacker was racing to the end zone with members of both teams chasing behind him. As Apple went to help clear the path for Pratt as he followed him to the end zone, Jones dove into the legs of Apple, who hit the ground on the play. Here is a look at what happened in the fourth quarter: Not sure about this move from Mac Jones. Michael Hurley (@michaelFhurley) When asked about the play after the game and whether he saw what Jones did, Apple said, , "Of course I did notice it . He tripped me."Apple also accused Jones of Kenyon Green Jersey doing it before this. "I thought it was a dirty play. He's done that before, I've seen it."Jones explained his actions during the play on his radio interview : "I went down in front of him to kind of get in the way to stop him from slowing down Tyquan, who obviously could make the tackle there. So just kind of went down in front of him, trying to stop a fast guy from getting to another fast guy. "It's Davion Davis Jersey a split-second decision and there's a lot that goes into it. You're out there trying to compete, it's a physical game. So just trying to help the team win. I have all the respect for Eli and the Bengals. They played a great game. So, there's no hard feelings and definitely no intention to hurt anybody on that play. Nor do I believe that when I'm playing quarterback, that's what the defense is intending to do ; I get hit a lot, too. We're all out there playing hard. It's just part of the game."Jones said he didn't know the play had been ruled incomplete and blown dead."No, honestly was just playing the play, I saw Tyquan running, and we were running to get Desmond King II Jersey him," Jones said. "At that point you have to play the play all the way through, because you don't know what's happening -- if they're going to review it, if Kyle Allen Jersey they're not going to review it. So just had to play it through and try to make the right play and slow everything down."The touchdown was called back, as the officials ruled it an incomplete pa s opposed to a fumble. The Patriots offense has struggled all season, and the Bengals game was no exception, with a le s than mediocre run game and another close lo s. New England stands at 7-8 and is still fighting for a playoff spot. It has two tough divisional games left in the regular season, with the and the up next.
