Patriots' punt return TD with seconds remaining stuns Jets
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- There had not been a punt return for a touchdown across the NFL this season until New England Patriots rookie Marcus Jones delivered one Sunday -- and it couldn't have come in more exciting fashion.
Jones' 84-yard return for a touchdown, in which he crossed the goal-line with five seconds remaining in regulation, shockingly lifted the New England Patriots past the visiting New York Jets 10-3 at windy Gillette Stadium.
"I've never been part of a game like that at any level of football," said Patriots captain Matthew Slater, the 15-year-veteran and longest-tenured player on the team.
