Terrible penalty marred terrific game by Pacman Jones
Adam “Pacman” Jones should’ve been ejected, will be fined and perhaps even suspended for his dirty play of slamming the head of rookie receiver Amari Cooper onto his own helmet.
The truly tragic part about the whole affair was it will overshadow just how amazing the veteran corner played in that game. He was literally everywhere, leading the Bengals defense with 10 tackles, forcing a fumble and rating as their best cover man as well. He should’ve received the game ball for an all-around great team performance.
Instead he’s going to lose money and took another shot to his already shaky personal image.
