Official: NFL Issues Penalty Decision for Cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. After This Superstar's Unnecessary Physical Impact on WR Stefon Diggs in Patriots' Win Over Jets

New York, New York. 11/15/2025

After nearly 24 hours of reviewing footage and assessing the severity, the NFL has officially issued a penalty against New York Jets cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. for the “WWE-style” takedown of Stefon Diggs during their 27-14 loss to the New England Patriots on TNF. The decision was announced this afternoon and immediately sparked a strong wave of reactions from both fanbases.

According to the league's announcement, Brownlee will be fined under the framework for unnecessary roughness, late hit, and endangering an opponent. This is the second time this season he has been penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct, following a fine for a face-mask violation earlier in the year. The NFL emphasized that Brownlee's play exceeded the level of a normal defensive situation, creating a significant risk to Stefon Diggs' health.

During the penalty announcement, the NFL Commissioner personally spoke out to criticize Brownlee's actions. His words carried both a warning and left Patriots fans feeling satisfied after what they called an “unacceptable” dirty play.

“We respect the competition between the Patriots and Jets, but no team needs unsportsmanlike behavior like this. This is a line we will not allow to be crossed, and the league will protect players by any means.”

Stefon Diggs was fortunately spared serious injury, but the incident has reignited the flame of hostility between the two teams that had calmed in recent years. Online communities, especially Patriots fans, have continuously reshared the video of the play and called on the NFL to strengthen penalties to prevent similar violent actions from recurring. Many experts also view the NFL's decision as “necessary and timely.”

Amid the Patriots' strong resurgence with a 9-2 record under head coach Mike Vrabel, the incident has not harmed their image but instead reinforced confidence that the team is being protected to the proper standard. The Jets, conversely, continue to face pressure as disciplinary mistakes like Brownlee's reveal serious decline. The NFL affirmed it will continue monitoring and is prepared to apply heavier penalties if there is a repeat offense.

The decision instantly received overwhelming support from the community. In her media session, Mrs. Sheila spoke calmly yet with deep emotion: “We don’t just represent a football team – we represent a community that always upholds respect and safety. No one, especially women, should ever feel threatened while watching a game. Today’s decision is a reminder that Detroit will always stand on the side of what is right.” Those words immediately touched the hearts of fans.
