Josh McDaniels on Chandler Jones' Best Game of the Season

Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Chandler Jones had the dominant game he was expected to display when the club signed him in the off-season last Sunday against the Chargers.

For weeks, Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Chandler Jones was not making the impact that fans have been accustomed to seeing from the four-time Pro Bowler throughout his 11 years in the NFL.

Finally, in what was one of the Raiders' biggest games of the season last Sunday, Jones did what he was brought on to do in the off-season.

In fact, he went above and beyond.

The veteran defensive end recorded six combined tackles, three sacks, two tackles for losses and a pass defensed in the Raiders' 27-20 victory over the Chargers, a monster game that will go down as one of the best of his career.

"I think I've mentioned it a number of times, but Chandler has done a lot of good things," Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels said in his Monday press conference. "And just the number that everybody is focused on is the sack number, and I understand that. And I thought he just played with great effort; he was relentless. I thought they executed a few things in the pass rush that we've been working hard on. Again, I think all of that is a complimentary factor, the inside rush, the outside rush, the coverage. If one thing breaks down, then a lot of times you lose an opportunity to create pressure on the quarterback. 

"So I think we're learning how to work together a little bit better as the season has gone on. Like I said, Chandler played his butt off when he was in there, and I thought he had a lot of help up front, too. There were a lot of people who were playing hard and trying to create pressure, and Chandler was able to get the quarterback down a few times, obviously."
