New York Jets safety Jamal Adams is a really good player, and he plays the game as hard as any defensive back in the NFL. Unfortunately for him, the league felt he went a little too far in Monday night's loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Adams was fined $21,000 for a hit on Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. He also was hit with a roughing the passer penalty on the play. Adams let everyone know exactly how he was feeling about the league's decision in a passionate tweet Wednesday night.
Warning: The following tweet contains NSFW language.
Adams and the Jets will play the rival New England Patriots on Sunday at Gillette Stadium, and you can bet the third-year safety will try to set a physical tone right from the get-go.
"Yeah, he's very aggressive, a physical player, a contact player, very aggressive in the running game," Patriots head coach Bill Belichick told reporters Wednesday when asked about Adams. "He's fast, he's a tough player. He's around the ball a lot, too. Similar to (C.J.) Mosley, different position but he gets involved in a lot of plays, plays with great effort, hustles all the time, has a great motor."
The Jets are heavy underdogs entering Week 3. Oddsmakers have pegged the Patriots as 22.5-point favorites as of Thursday morning. Adams and the Jets defense will need to give an almost flawless performance to slow down Tom Brady's offense and earn a huge upset win.
