1. November Dominance
November has been a great month for Jones, as he’s completing 77% of his passes with seven touchdowns against two interceptions. Considering those numbers include a subpar performance against Carolina, it goes to show how deadly he’s been as of late.
Jones is leading the NFL in completion percentage and passer rating in November, beating out names like Jimmy Garoppolo, Kirk Cousins, and Aaron Rodgers. All of the haters who critiqued his downfield passing need to know that Jones’ yards per attempt is also the best in the league.

Jones is getting better with each passing week, and the Patriots have devised a formula that has helped them beat some elite teams on the back of his arm. With two games against the Bills and a matchup against a tough Colts team coming up, we’ll get to find out how historically good Jones’ rookie season can be.
