When officials ruled that New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones threw a forward pass - and didn't fumble - during the fourth quarter of Saturday's Week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, it was among the biggest plays and calls of the game.
Many didn't notice that Jones dove at Bengals defensive back Eli Apple's knees during Cincinnati linebacker Germaine Pratt's recovery and return, which were nullified when the play was reviewed.
Apple didn't like it, calling it a dirty play, per NESN's Sean T. McGuire via Twitter.
Jones' block was several yards behind Pratt; Apple was fortunate to avoid injury.
