Chandler Jones has Raiders coming out party, sets tone for comeback win

LAS VEGAS — Chandler Jones entered Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers seen as one of, if not the biggest, free-agent signing busts in the NFL this season.

A three-year, $51 million contract for half a sack through 11 games by one of the past decade’s preeminent sack artists? No, the Las Vegas Raiders were not getting much on their investment, even if teammates, coaches and Jones himself insisted he was contributing … just not necessarily on the stat sheet.

He was a gamechanger against the Chargers, though. Three sacks in the first half kept the game manageable as the Raiders fell behind 10-0, only to rally for the 27-20 victory, Las Vegas’ third straight win to improve its record to 5-7 heading into Thursday night’s game at the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams (3-9).

A personal sigh of relief for Jones to take down Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert three times? Hardly, he said.

“I think it’s motivation,” Jones said. “It puts a battery in my back, it makes me want to keep going, makes me want to do more, and do more for our team.”
