Brian Burns calls out Mac Jones for dangerous play, wishes other D-ends ‘happy hunting’
Published:
There was a little bit of controversy Sunday in the New England Patriots’ victory over the Carolina Panthers.
Patriots quarterback Mac Jones apparently grabbed Panthers defender Brian Burns’ ankle and twisted it. Obviously, the Panthers think it was a dirty play by Jones but Patriots head coach Bill Belichick defended his rookie quarterback.
Burns wants an apology and wishes his fellow defensive players could get back at the QB.
