New England Patriots quarterback Mack Jones’ passing game seems to be rubbing some NFL fans the wrong way.
The play came on a legal go-ahead pass that ended up being an incomplete pass by Jones. However, Bengals linebacker Jermaine Pratt took a punt and ran the ball the other way to put six points on the board for Cincinnati.
Jones could be seen running behind the play and clearing the legs of cornerback Eli Effley. The Bengals defensive back was furious after the play, going so far as to call Jones’ hit a “dirty play.”
“Of course I did [notice it]. He beat me,” Apple said, via NESN.com. “I thought it was a dirty game. He’s done it before, I’ve seen it. “

The play on the field is, of course, up to interpretation, and it will be interesting to see if the NFL is fined.
One of the dirtiest players in the league.

In football, this is called a block.

Mack Jones is the type of guy who thinks he’s tough when he has numbers or bigger men to protect him. I grew up with a few of his type.

It’s incredibly messy. The boy has nothing to do with the play

I can’t get too worked up about it, the Bengals are one of the dirtiest teams in the NFL

This is what the Patriots have always done: if winning is in doubt, either cheat or play dirty.

Dirty game. It is not the first time he does such a thing. A player hit in the groin in a Bears game
