SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Six former members of the Syracuse football program, including Jacksonville head coach Doug Marrone, took the field during Week 6 of the 2018 NFL season.
One week after he was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his six tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in a win against the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals defensive end Chandler Jones continued his hot streak, recording five tackles, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and a pass deflection in his team's 27-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. League-wide, Jones is tied for third in forced fumbles (3) and tied for fifth in sacks (5.5) this season.
