If there is one position that Bill Belichick knows better than any other coach in NFL history, it's cornerbacks. After letting
J.C. Jackson walk in free agency, the Patriots have gotten some
outstanding play from Jonathan Jones and the rest of the secondary.
This week, fourth-round rookie Jack Jones stepped up in a big way. While he did allow 60 yards on seven targets, Jones made the play of the day when he intercepted
Aaron Rodgers right before halftime and returned it for a score.
Jones finished the game as the Patriots' highest-graded player (93.5) and was one of the highest-graded defenders of the week. He has seen his role increase in each of the past four weeks and appears to be one of the next great New England cornerbacks under Belichick.
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith and New York Giants interior defender Dexter Lawrence headline Week 4's list of most surprising performances in the NFL.
