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. 

Isolated, you can assume it’s not dirty, but just like every hit was scrutinized because of Burficts reputation, Mac already has garnered the reputation as dirty for his antics. So everything is going to be looked at through that lense now.
