Mack Wilson Sr. was not happy about one decision made by the NFL during the New England Patriots bye week.
The linebacker was fined $8,861 for unnecessary roughness on a play that he was flagged for in the first quarter of the Patriots loss to the Colts in Germany.
His fellow teammate Jahlani Tavai was also fined $10,463 for unnecessary roughness for a play that occurred in the third quarter.
Wilson didn't hold back, voicing his displeasure over the decision on X, formerly known as Twitter. He responded to a post showing the two plays that resulted in the fines.
Wilson is in his second season with the Patriots, having begun his career with the Browns in 2019 after being drafted in the fifth round.
Last season, he finished with 39 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one pass defended in 17 games. So far this season, he has 19 total tackles and one forced fumble in 10 games.
The NFL has not been shy when handing out penalties this season, and because of that, the players are not holding back on voicing their opinions. Wilson is the latest example of this.
