Jones not only led Seattle in stops in the loss, he also tied the season-high mark he first established in Week 1 versus New England. The veteran linebacker continues to be an impactful IDP asset in his sixth NFL campaign, as he ranks third in the NFL with 81 tackles through eight weeks. Jones has recorded at least eight stops in every one of his appearances this season.
