Bears' Christian Jones: Blanked in finale
Christian Jones posted no stats in the Chicago Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 24 tackles.Although Jones played in every game this season, he averaged fewer than two tackles per game, and in five different games, he failed to record a tackle. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but unless he can land a role in which he sees significant snaps, he'll have little IDP value.
