New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick stayed quiet when asked for his opinion on Mac Jones' controversial low block on Eli Apple after the quarterback was branded a "dirty player".
Jones, who is still fighting for his spot as starting quarterback at Gillette Stadium, put his body on the line late in the game to stop Apple while the Cincinnati Bengals were on the charge towards the end zone after intercepting a throw. Many considered the block to be too low, however, as Jones threw his body to the floor to stop Apple.
The Bengals quarterback later hit out at Jones, stating he felt the quarterback was a "dirty player". He said: "“He tripped me. I thought it was a dirty play. He’s done that before, I’ve seen it.”
