Sauce Gardner says Mac Jones took a cheap shot on him during the New York Jets' 15-10 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Gardner said the incident took place after a quarterback sneak by Jones, who was shoved to the ground by Gardner after the alleged hit took place. 

"He's trying to prevent me from having kids in the future," the cornerback said of Jones.

Gardner, who said that that was the first time that has ever happened to him, elaborated on what transpired between him and Jones. 

"He and I got tackled, [and] he reached his hand up to try to like, get me to help him up, and I just like, moved his hand out of the way," Gardner said. "Then he got up, and he just came up to me and was like, 'Good job.' And while he said that, he hit me in my private parts. I didn't react how I really wanted to. That was just the reaction that came after that. I definitely wasn't expecting that. There's a first time for everything, I guess." 

Jones denied any foul play on his part when asked about Gardner's accusation after the game. 

"Definitely a physical play," Jones said. "Lot of guys are in there. That's kind of like the famous quarterback sneak that everyone does. There's all the guys on both teams were in there. It can get pretty physical, and that's something I have to learn from is getting my pads a little bit lower so that I can get it and not get held up."
