Once recognized as a first-year All-Pro for his ability to track down live footballs through the air as a returner, New England Patriots defensive back Marcus Jones turned those always-useful traits into his season’s first interception in Week 6. Pairing his teammate’s well-timed swipe on Houston’s downfield pass with ambition of his own, Jones created a big-time play, corralling a pick before introducing his open-field gifts through a nifty 35-yard return. Providing a bit of everything, even amidst the 41-21 loss to the Texans on Oct. 13, 2024, Jones contributed three tackles (two solo), an interception (for 35 yards), and a pair of punt returns (for 16 yards).
