Original Story:
In a post-game media session following the Jets’ 15-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner accused quarterback Mac Jones of grabbing his “private parts.”
Sauce alleged that what Patriots quarterback Mac Jones did forced him to “ice up” as a result and humorously added, “He’s trying to prevent me from having kids in the future.”
However, the story took an interesting turn on Monday when Gardner took to Twitter to share what he believes is evidence of the alleged incident.
In the video he posted, although the details are not entirely clear, it does appear to show some kind of interaction between the players.
Gardner accompanied the tweet with a light-hearted caption: “Posting this so I don’t get fined lol.”
