Enamored by his performance during his Minnesota Vikings debut, Aaron Jones’ teammates described his game as one “aging like fine wine”; the New York Giants might question that, given how difficult he was to bottle up defensively. Helping pad the Vikings’ second half lead in Week 1, Jones took a carry before using a quick cut to the left to discover nothing but green grass ahead for a physical 19-yard pickup. Jones — sporting a five-game streak of 100+ rushing yards before Sept. 8, 2024’s game — produced another memorable performance with 14 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown, alongside two catches for 15 yards in the 28-6 win.
