Mac Jones, the Patriots' quarterback, is enduring a season of misdeeds, with fines for two separate instances of needless roughness. Jones was suspended for the same offence in a game against the Buffalo Bills earlier this month after tossing the ball at a defender after a dismissal.

Mac Jones, the New England Patriots quarterback, defended himself against the allegation of a foul play in Saturday's loss to Cincinnati, saying Monday that he made a "second decision" and not threatening Bengals cornerback Eli Apple. Apple made the allegation after defeating the Patriots, 22-18, in Foxborough, where he was on the wrong end of what he called a 'dirty' strike by Jones. Jones attempted a doomed underhanded forward pass while being wrapped up by Cincinnati's Vonn Bell midway through the fourth quarter. Despite the fact that the pass was incomplete, Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt recovered the loose ball and sprinted toward the end zone with Patriots receiver Tyquan Thornton in pursuit. Apple sprinted downfield to stop Thornton's march to Pratt, but his progress was slowed when he was outflanked by Jones, who reached his legs to trip up the defensive back.
