Marcus Jones stole the show in the Patriots’ 10-3 victory over the Jets on Sunday. The rookie cornerback returned a punt for an 84-yard touchdown, breaking a 3-3 tie with just five seconds remaining and lifting New England to an important divisional win.
For his efforts in the victory, Jones has been named by the NFL as the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. He becomes the second Patriots special-teamer to receive the honor this season, as kicker Nick Folk won the award after kicking five field goals in a Week 8 victory over the Jets.
