NFL: New England Patriots' Cordarrelle Patterson caught in low act against New York Jets

New England Patriots wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson may face penalties after he was caught violently squeezing the genitals of New York Jets defensive end Henry Anderson on Monday.

With the Patriots leading by seven in the fourth, Patterson rushed a yard before he was tackled by Anderson at the 24-yard line.

Patterson obviously took offence to being smothered by 140kg linesman who lay on top of him a while after the challenge, as he aggressively squeezed Anderson’s nether regions until he got off.

The Jets big man seemed to wince in pain as he flipped onto his back allowing Patterson to stand and stare him down.

“I’m a grown man” he said, according to Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr.

“I don’t need no one’s ass and d—k and balls in my face.”

Anderon’s partner Saryn Rorie promptly jumped to her fiancee's defence, warning Patterson to back off.

The referees failed to penalise the wide receiver however he could be face disciplinary action from the NFL.

New England went on to win 27 – 13 over the Jets.
