Jones rushed 14 times for 94 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 15 yards in the Vikings' 28-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Jones put together a highly efficient performance in his Vikings debut, which included a three-yard touchdown run into the left corner of the end zone early in the first quarter. His longest run was a modest 19 yards, underscoring how consistent he was in achieving meaningful gains throughout the afternoon. Even in a game script conducive to the run, Jones still ceded eight carries to backfield mate Ty Chandler, which highlights the coaching staff's plan to manage the former's workload over the course of the season. Jones gets a tough matchup for his next assignment, however, as the 49ers come into Minnesota for a Week 2 matchup next Sunday.
