Jones’ 11 rushing attempts and 107 rushing yards were career highs. And his rushing touchdown gave him three on the season, which is also a career-high.
For the Giants, this is their third Player of the Week honor this season. Saquon Barkley was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week in Week 1, and Graham Gano was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 2.
For Jones, this is the third time he’s been named NFC Offensive Player of the Week in his career.
