Terps in the NFL: J.C. Jackson continues to lead NFL in pass deflections

New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson added yet another special game to his impressive 2021 resume on Saturday against Indianapolis.

Jackson, who leads the NFL in pass deflections with 20, totaled three tackles and deflected three passes from quarterback Carson Wentz in the 27-17 loss to the Colts. The fourth-year defensive back produced and played in 100% of the Patriots’ defensive snaps for the fourth time this season and the first time since Week Five.

Jackson has at least one pass deflection in all but two games this season and has totaled 10 in the last six games to lead the entire league.
