The New England Patriots went 4-0 November and two key pieces to their success took home monthly awards from the NFL this week.
On Thursday, the NFL announced that quarterback Mac Jones was named the Offensive Rookie of the Month and cornerback J.C. Jackson was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month.
The awards mark career firsts for both players as Jones becomes the first Patriots rookie to receive a rookie of the month honor since Chandler Jones in 2012 while Jackson becomes the first AFC Defensive Player of the Month honor for the franchise since 2019 when Stephon Gilmore and Devin McCourty each won the monthly award that season.
