Dolphins TE Julian Hill was fined $5,106.48 for Unnecessary Roughness (use of the helmet) in Week 12.

Connor Hughes reports Jets RB Breece Hall suffered a pretty significant injury against the Colts and was looking at missing a few weeks before returning to play on Sunday for the team.

Jets HC Jeff Ulbrich on if he’d consider benching QB Aaron Rodgers: “Not as of today.” (Zack Rosenblatt)
Rodgers on the team being 3-9 after another loss: “Disappointing. What else can you say?” (Rosenblatt)
Rodgers said this is the best he’s felt physically but was asked why the team’s record didn’t support his claim: “There’s 11 guys on the field. Sometimes it’s my fault.” (Hughes)
Jets CB DJ Reed tweeted the following at the NFL Officiating account after the game: “you FXCKING suck, yall should be ashamed of yall selves.!”

Patriots QB Drake Maye says he feels like today showed the team’s offense is “dynamic” before adding that the loss was “heartbreaking.” (Doug Kyed)
Patriots HC Jerod Mayo on the team’s red zone issues and penalties: “I know I sound redundant but we’re doing a lot of good things.” (Chad Graff)
