How episode 6 ends

Darnell lies on the grass while teammates gather around him in shock. Jace turns his back and walks off the field without saying a word. Eli pulls out Jace's note and stares at the quarterback's retreating back. Why did Jace lash out at Darnell, and will Eli confront him about the deliberate throw?
