Jones only played in 28 snaps against Tennessee, but he was crucial to the success Kansas City found when rushing the passer. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, when Jones was on the field, the defense had seven pressures and three sacks. When Jones wasn’t on the field, the defense had just one pressure.

One play early, where Jones made the initial hit on Henry, Wilson is the reason he didn't get the first down. He hit him HARD!!

I keyed on watching Wilson the rest of the game and he hustled his ass off and IMO played very well.

I think good play from Wilson could be key to stopping San Fran's outside run game. Coupled with Clark & KPass setting edges.

Really need that LB speed.
