Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones said his mom was not pleased with his performance in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones said after his latest two-fumble game against the Arizona Cardinals, his mom was calling for him to get benched. The Pro Bowl running back has struggled with ball security in his first season with the Vikings. Four of his last five fumbles have come in the last three games since his return from a rib injury. In Sunday’s narrow victory over the Cardinals, Jones fumbled twice on the first play of each of Minnesota's first two drives.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed his vote of confidence in Jones, but according to Jones, his mom seemingly disagreed. 'She said, 'They needed to sit you down,’' he said Thursday, recalling the conversation he had with his mother, Vurgess Jones, after last week’s game. 'She was like, 'I don't know what's going on, but they need to take him out the game. They need to bench him right now.' Anytime I hear it from my mom, it's going to be worse.
