Patriots linebacker Dre'Mont Jones faces a five-figure NFL fine over a hit during the Jets game. Here's what prompted the punishment.
The NFL fined New England Patriots outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones $17,911 for a low hit on New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith. The penalty occurred during the fourth quarter of New England's 26-19 victory in Week 6. Jones was penalized 15 yards for roughing the passer after making contact at or below Smith's knees following a play where he was driven to the turf.
Jones was the only Patriots player fined from the contest, bringing his career NFL fine total to $54,168 across four separate incidents. The 29-year-old edge rusher signed a three-year contract with New England in March after previous stints with the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, and Baltimore Ravens.
