NFL Fans Are Pretty Upset After Patriots’ Jonathan Jones Avoids Fine

The results are in, and NFL fans certainly are not happy.

New England Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones was not fined by the NFL following a hit on Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

The hit placed Allen in concussion protocol for the past week. Rapoport noted that “it was determined Jones turned his shoulder to stop the runner (who is not defenseless), while the runner is being tackled, falling forward and down.”

The usual Patriots hate was unsurprisingly out and about following Rapoport’s report. Go figure.

Are you sure they were watching the same play I was? All this does is reinforce the mindset that the Evil Empire gets the benefit of the doubt no matter what. If Brady had been hit like that there would have been an ejection, fine, suspension, and possible jail time.
