As much as the Patriots’ current six-game win streak and undefeated November is a team effort, it still probably wouldn’t be happening without standout performances from key players.
Two of those players got some league-wide recognition on Thursday morning.
Quarterback Mac Jones was named the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Month for November while cornerback J.C. Jackson earned AFC Defensive Player of the Month honors for his play last month.
It is the first such award for either player.
Jones completed 76-of-99 passes (76.8 percent), giving him the third-highest completion percentage in November behind just Tua Tagovailoa and Taylor Heinicke.
