When you see a headline like: NFL Investigates Mac Jones, you say WHOA…tap the breaks!

What did he do? Is it Deflate gate? Yes, as Patriots fans, we have ALL been through enough investigations for TEN seasons. Who can forget Tom Brady’s four week suspension during the Deflate Gate era? But, one may ask, what IS this about? If you got caught up in the Taylor Swift spotting at the Chiefs game, you could have missed this during the Jets game, this past Sunday.

Why Are They Investigating Mac Jones?

As always, there are TWO sides to this story. It starts with Jet’s player Sause Gardner alleging that Mac Jones delivered a shot to the groin, of Gardner during Sunday’s game. NESN.com reports:

Jones initially was body-slammed to the turf by linebacker C.J. Mosley after he tried to fight through the whistle for extra yardage. Garner claimed Jones delivered a shot to his groin as he got to his feet, which prompted the 2022 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year to shove the QB back down. 

There are a few camera angles that are being shared on social media, but it’s not clear what really happened. Gardner shared this on his social calling it evidence:

Here’s a closer angle:

Rafi Wolffe on Twitter: "Looks like Mac flicked him. Could have been trying for the stomach but idk. Sauce and Mac been chirping at each other all game. If it was an accident, call up Sauce and apologize and move on. Don't want further evidence for the Dirty Mac file #MacJones https://t.co/5oJi7DxGjF / Twitter"

According to our sister station The Sports Hub, sports writer Matt Dolloff says that Mac is no stranger to getting fined for his field antics:

In all seriousness, Jones’ reputation preceded him even before this thing. He had a leg-grabbing incident with the Panthers’ Brian Burns in his rookie year, then got fined $13,367 for a low hit on cornerback Eli Apple last season. 

When asked, Mac denied any wrong doing.

Dolloff writes that it would be funny to imagine as the NFL investigates Mac Jones.

Imagine league commish Roger Goodell having to take three hours of meetings watching videos from every angle to come to a decision, if in fact this actually gets to his desk. I agree, that is funny to imagine. “Ok, let’s recreate this, Harry stand here….ready…tell me if this hurts.”
