FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots fans have hopped aboard the Mac Jones train - and for a good reason.
After an impressive November showing, the quarterback has been named the Offensive Rookie of the Month by the National Football League.
Jones led the Patriots to a perfect record in November, completing 76-of-99 passes for 854 yards and seven touchdown passes. He completed 76.8% of his passes and had a quarterback rating of 117.2.
Jones is the first Patriots rookie to receive a rookie of the month honor since DL Chandler Jones in September of the 2012 season.
Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson was also honored, named AFC Defensive Player of the Month for November. He helped New England finish the month of November with a perfect 4-0 record behind a defense that allowed just 26 points (6.5 points per game), including all four games without allowing a point in the second half. Jackson had four interceptions in November, including an 88-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter of the victory at Carolina on Nov. 7.
