At the center of a dramatic turnaround, Ernest Jones shined for a suddenly reinvigorated Seahawks defense as they held the 49ers under 300 total yards.
for four weeks, the veteran linebacker shared a common ground with his new teammates heading into Sunday's critical Week 11 road contest against the San Francisco 49ers.
"Heck, when I was in LA, we couldn't beat them in the regular season either. So, for us to come down here in their spot, go out there and take a win from them, that's big for this team.," Jones said post-game. "That's big for what we have going forward. I'm going to keep saying, I'm excited about what we really can be when this thing gets rolling.”
Though the sample size is a small one, the moves made by coach Mike Macdonald and general manager John Schneider look to be paying major dividends, starting with Jones bringing a physical, instinctive presence to the middle that Seattle sorely missed in the first seven games. Next to him, Knight rose to the challenge making his third career NFL start, finishing second in tackles for Seattle while adding a quarterback hit on Brock Purdy. The fourth-round pick out of UTEP also held up well in coverage, allowing two catches for just 12 yards.
