Maybe someone told him to leave it be because the leagues looking into it already - no one really knows because we aren’t in Eli’s head or inside the locker room. What I do know is that it is a cheap shot to dive towards the knees/ankles in that situation. Eli was about 4 yards behind the Pats guy that Mac says he was trying to keep from getting blocked. Eli may be fast but no one can catch up to and get beside of and then block a guy at full speed who’s already 4 yards ahead of him.  His reasoning is BS.

Look at it again - Mac had no reason to do that so it’s a cheap shot no matter how much you want to take a contrarian opinion and call us homers.  You also have to look at his past to see this isn’t an isolated incident.

I've looked at it plenty. At the beginning of the clip, you see #71 from NE block Vonn bell in the back. Now we can look at it from numerous angles and asses Bell's never going to be in that play, but 71 is just doing what football players do. If you cannot influence the play stop others from doing so. I don't think #71 was trying to injure Bell.

I have no love for Mac Jones and less for the New England Patriots, but when I look at that play I have a hard time drawing the correlation that Jones was trying to injure Eli. He was trying to take him out of the play and did it clumsily because he's an unathletic QB.
