Some thoughts after a crazy finish on Sunday:
1) When the Patriots selected Marcus Jones back in April, the idea of New England adding a talented player to their secondary and an explosive returner in the kicking game seemed like a terrific find by Matt Groh and New England’s personnel department.
After Sunday’s game, it’s clear it was an absolutely brilliant move.
The Houston standout, who the Patriots selected in the third-round with the 85th overall pick, obviously made the play of the game during Sunday’s stunning 10-3 victory over the New York Jets.
Jones came up with a clutch 84-yard punt return for a touchdown in the closing seconds, sealing a win on an afternoon where points were hard to come by for both teams.
