Jones entered the game with a career punt return average of 13.6 yards per punt, which was the highest average in NFL history, but he didn't have enough career punt returns to qualify.
Now, he does.
The Patriots lead 10-0.
A week ago, Jones had a 33-yard interception return for a touchdown against the Bengals.
