Orange in the NFL - Week 13
12/4/2018 11:00:00 AM | Football
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Six former members of the Syracuse football program, including Jacksonville head coach Doug Marrone, took the field during Week 13 of the 2018 NFL season.
Arizona defensive end Chandler Jones once again showed why he's in the conversation for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award. The Green Bay Packers had no answer for Jones, who carded four tackles, including two tackles for loss, one sack, and three quarterback hits in the Cardinals' 20-17 win. Jones has 5.5 sacks in his past four games and now ranks third in the NFL with 12 quarterback takedowns.
With his one sack on Sunday, Jones became the fastest player in his team's franchise history to record 40 sacks. He did so in 44 games, which is 16 games faster than the next closest player (Simeon Rice - 60 games).
Here's a quick recap of how Syracuse football alums fared in the 13th week of the season:
Chandler Jones, DE, Arizona Cardinals
- Four tackles, including a sack, in Arizona's win over Green Bay.Â
- Third in the NFL with 12 sacks and tied for eighth with three forced fumbles through 12 games.

Cameron Lynch, LB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
