Jones played on the edge for 31 snaps and took 24 reps at an interior position, either on the nose or over the center. He rushed the passer 53 times and dropped into coverage twice, the first of which led to his bone-rattling hit on receiver Jarvis Landry after a 5-yard catch. Jones also was on the field for all 16 third downs and 4-of-5 fourth downs, which proved the Pats wanted him in the mix for the most crucial situations.
