New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was reportedly fined for an incident that occurred late in last Thursday’s home loss to the Buffalo Bills.
After being sacked by Bills defensive end A.J. Epenesa, Jones flicked a football in his direction that hit him, resulting in a $10,609 fine by the NFL, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Overall, it was a rough game for Jones and the Patriots offense, which only mustered 10 points and 242 total yards in the loss. Jones was especially frustrated with the offensive play-calling under Matt Patricia and could be seen shouting expletives on the sideline during the game.

The Patriots hope to leave those frustrations in the rearview with the team preparing for a pivotal Monday night road game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14.
