J.C. Jackson has a nose for the football, and it was on full display Sunday afternoon in the Meadowlands.
The Patriots forced the first turnover of their Week 2 clash with the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. On a second-and-2 from the Jets' 16-yard line, a Zach Wilson pass attempt was deflected by Jackson, tipped by Devin McCourty and ultimately landed back in the arms of the fourth-year cornerback, who corraled nine picks last season.
New England proceeded to take advantage of the favorable field position. A six-play drive concluded with a 46-yard field goal from Nick Folk which gave the visitors a 3-0 lead.
