CINCINNATI — New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is getting disciplined for his low block this past weekend. According to Mike Florio, Jones is receiving an $11,139 fine for going after Eli Apple's knees on Saturday.

Jones committed the offense after trying to block Apple during a fumble return that was later deemed an incomplete pass late in the fourth quarter.

Jones defended the play on Monday—saying he was trying to keep Apple from blocking Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton. Regardless, he now has a reputation as a dirty player less than two years into his NFL career.

Florio said Jones will receiver notice of the fine later on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Cincinnati and Buffalo meet on Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET. The game airs on ESPN and is available on fuboTV—start your free trial here.
