Outpaced by Chandler in win Jones rushed nine times for 32 yards and secured five of six targets for 36 yards in the Vikings' 23-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble. Impact Jones saw backfield mate Ty Chandler outpace him by one carry, although the former had a sizable pass-catching role while the latter was not involved as a receiver. Nevertheless, Jones' longest catch of the afternoon, an 18-yarder late in the third quarter, resulted in a fumble at the 49ers' two-yard line that San Francisco recovered. The miscue could have been very costly in a tight game, and it remains to be seen if it will cost Jones, who only had one additional touch the rest of the game, any opportunities in a Week 3 home matchup against the Texans.
