Last Sunday against San Diego, the third-year defensive lineman made two key plays in the fourth quarter to help the Packers protect their one-score lead.

First, with the Chargers at the Green Bay 40-yard line, Jones chased down QB Philip Rivers for a sack on third down, forcing San Diego to punt with just over six minutes left.

Then, on third-and-goal from the 2-yard line in the final 30 seconds, Jones cleanly beat right guard D.J. Fluker with his quickness off the line of scrimmage and stuffed running back Danny Woodhead for a 1-yard loss on a draw play.

“Our back was against the wall, and we needed someone to step up and make a big play,” said Jones, whose daughter was born three days before the San Diego game.

The two big plays came a week after Jones blocked a field goal against the Rams, the third blocked kick of his career. In the last two games, Jones also batted down a Rivers pass on third down in the red zone, leading to a field goal, and he got a hit on Rams QB Nick Foles that contributed to rookie Quinten Rollins' pick-six.
