Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones reportedly threatened New York Jets wide receiver David Nelson during the Bengals (6-2) 49-9 triumph over the Jets (4-4) in Week 8 action Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.
According to a source credited by the New York Daily News, after a play that Jones perceived as dirty by Nelson, he gave him and earful and even threatened to come to his house and harm him.
"I'm going to find out where you live and come and get you," Jones told Nelson, according to a source connected with The Daily News.
Jones, who has had various run-ins with the law throughout his career, may have crossed the line with his comments, but he told the Bengals team website that he was upset with the way Nelson was playing throughout the game, and angry over a hit he deemed dirty after Nelson was flagged for unnecessary roughness at the end of the third quarter.
Jones believed that Nelson took cheap hits on him throughout the game, but the unsportsmanlike conduct call upset him even further.
"(Nelson) was playing dirty," Jones told Bengals.com. "He cut me like four times after the play. Thank God I took my medicine today - I guess -- and I didn't go off. Hopefully, he'll get fined. At least three fines. There were three real cheap shots after the play."
Nelson joined the Jets just a few weeks ago, and notched career highs in the game with eight receptions and 80 yards in the loss. On the season, Nelson has 15 catches for 180 yards but has yet to reach the end zone.
Jones had a second-half pick-six in the contest and also had six tackles. On the season, Jones has two interceptions for 60 yards.
Jones also admitted that he got into a little bit of an argument with Jets head coach Rex Ryan during the game.
"He told me to shut the hell up," Jones told the Bengal's official website.
There has been no word on fines for either Jones or Nelson and it remains to be seen what the league will opt to do following Jones' threats.
