New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson won Defensive Player of the Month for November.
With the Patriots winning all four games last month — and keeping a six-game win streak alive — Jackson was at the center of a defense which allowed just 6.5 points per game. He logged four interceptions, six pass breakups, one forced fumble and six tackles during that span.
This season in coverage, Jackson has allowed 35 receptions on 69 targets (50.7%) for one touchdown and seven interceptions. He has been among the league’s best cornerbacks — and is beginning to make a case as the best, which makes for good timing, with the cornerback entering free agency in 2022.
