Deion Jones - Page 8 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Yet another impactful showing Jones registered 10 tackles and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Saints.

Impact Given his fourth-quarter fumble recovery, courtesy of a Steven Means sack on Taysom Hill, Jones has now generated takeaways in back-to-back games. The 2017 Pro Bowler stands with 78 tackles, 3.5 sacks and two interceptions to his ledger as Atlanta prepares to face the recently shut out Chargers in Week 14. Austin Ekeler presents a unique challenge to Jones and Co. as a high-level pass catcher out of the backfield.

Superb outing against Raiders Jones recorded five tackles, a pass breakup and a pick-six in Sunday's 43-6 win over the Raiders.

Impact Jones was instrumental in shutting down the Raiders' run attack, as Josh Jacobs was held to just 27 yards on seven carries, while Devontae Booker produced six yards on five rushes. The middle linebacker came through for fantasy managers, too, marking the fifth pick-six of his five-year NFL career. He'll be in charge of slowing down Taysom Hill's run game when the Saints come to town in Week 13.

Another sack Thursday night Jones racked up six tackle -- including two tackles for loss and one sack -- during Thursday's 25-17 win against the Panthers.

Impact Jones has struggled considerably in coverage so far this season, surrendering a 72.4 percent completion rate and four passing TDs on 29 coverage opportunities. The Falcons have been working around that issue, and so far results have been encouraging. Jones has been utilized as a blitzer 28 times in eight games this season, proving especially effective of late with five QB hits and two sacks the past three weeks. During all of 2019, Jones had just 36 total blitz chances in 16 appearances, recording no sacks and four total QB hits.

Picks up sack, TFL in defeat Jones registered four total tackles, including one sack and two tackles for loss during Sunday's 23-22 defeat to the Lions.

Impact Jones' tackle total tied a season low, but the 2016 second-round pick was able to collect his first solo sack since Dec. 2 of 2018. Tight ends continue to tee off against the Falcons, as T.J. Hockenson corralled a game-tying touchdown with time expiring in the fourth quarter. That was on top of the Falcons' NFL-high seven TDs allowed to TEs coming into Sunday. Individually, Jones has allowed opponents to complete passes at a 70.4 percent rate when targeting him in coverage this season.
