Vikings' Pat Jones: Two more sacks against 49ers
Jones had five total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's win over the 49ers.Jones has recorded two sacks in each of Minnesota's first two games and has five total sacks his last two seasons. The 2021 third-round draft pick wasn't thought of as an impact pass rusher, but he's benefited from the focus on other players amid a deep rotation. Jones played on just 34 of the defense's 74 snaps, so he may not get the volume of opportunities with which to come close to keeping up this pace.
