CINCINNATI — A banner week continued for New York Jets cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner. He is the NFL Rookie of the Week on top of being named NFL Defensive Player of the Week.

Gardner was fantastic in the 16-9 win over Denver, allowing just 16 yards on a head-scratching ten targets by Broncos backup Brett Rypien. He added a team-high 10 tackles, and three more pass break ups.

It was the corner's seventh-straight game with a PBU making him the only rookie to do that since 2000. He now leads the entire NFL with 12 pass break ups this season. 

The Jets take on Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The game is available on CBS via fuboTV—start your free trial here.
