Obi Melifonwu among 7 practice players of the week from the Patriots’ 38-3 win over the Jets

The New England Patriots were able to end their 2018 regular season on a high note: the team blew out the visiting New York Jets 38-3 to secure the second seed in the AFC playoff race and with it a first-round bye. Of course, the preparation leading up to the regular season finale played an essential role in the win and as a result of their work, seven men received practice player of the week honors.

When New England handed out the honors after last week’s win against the Buffalo Bills, five of the six players named were members of the team’s active roster.
