The incident occurred in the second quarter when Chase caught a pass from Burrow. Jones grabbed and turned Chase's facemask as the receiver attempted to make a play, drawing a penalty.
Chase then took a hit from Jaguars linebacker Ventrell Miller, which sent the Bengals receiver to the ground. Chase was evaluated for a concussion and ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Jones was penalized for the facemask during the game, while Miller was not flagged for his hit on Chase. The NFL's subsequent fine addresses Jones' facemask infraction.
The league reviews plays for potential violations after games and can issue fines as part of its player accountability process. Players may appeal disciplinary decisions under the NFL's established procedures.
