Peyton Manning Comments on Mac Jones’s Controversial Slide

Before he was benched in favor of rookie Bailey Zappe, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones struggled in his outing against the Bears on Monday night. But on one play, no one struggled more than Chicago defensive back Jaquan Brisker. 

In the second quarter, Jones slid after a run and he could be seen lifting his leg during the process. While sliding, he kicked Brisker between his legs and Peyton Manning reacted to the low blow on the ManningCast.

“D-lineman don’t like this,” Manning said. “You can’t hit the quarterback, but yet he can kick you right in the jewels. That’s why d-lineman don’t like quarterbacks.”
