Briefly

Marcus Jones' 'ruthless' record-breaking day gave Patriots spark they needed
"I'm pretty ruthless back there,"
"It's pretty simple. Run fast - don't get caught,"
"I had someone on my leg for a little minute, but then I got out and I was like, let me try to find some blocking and everything,"
"But I commend my teammates, because they never stop whenever they could, and you know they block the guys that we do need to block for sure to end up opening that lane."
Marcus Jones returned an 87-yard punt for a touchdown after evading multiple Carolina defenders, shifting momentum in New England's favor. Jones fielded the punt at the Patriots' 13-yard line, cut right to shake off Akayleb Evans, then shifted left through traffic into open field. The touchdown changed a 6-0 Carolina lead into a 7-6 Patriots advantage and helped ignite a 42-point unanswered run. Teammates provided critical blocks to open the lane while Jones relied on speed and instincts. Drake Maye and the offense capitalized on the momentum, finishing with a 42-13 victory over the Panthers.
