With the wide receiver corps in flux the past two weeks, rookie Jakobi Meyers had made the most of his newfound opportunities.
“Jakobi deserves the credit for that,’’ offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said on a conference call Tuesday morning. “When you get your chances, you’ve got to come through and do your job as well as you can do it and hopefully be productive. Jakobi’s been able to do that.’’
After tallying four receptions in his first four games as a Patriot, Meyers surpassed that total in Week 7 alone. Against the Jets Monday, he hauled in five catches on five targets for 47 yards.
