Jordan Mason Scores Touchdown but Aaron Jones Leads Vikings Backfield

Jordan Mason scored a 16-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter of the Minnesota Vikings' loss to the Bears. However, Aaron Jones continued to dominate the backfield work for the second straight week. Mason finished with 45 yards on six rushes and had no targets in the passing game. Jones recorded 70 rushing yards on 16 carries and added three receptions for 11 yards on six targets. Jones played significantly more snaps (37 to Mason's 9) and routes (18 to Mason's 3). This indicates Jones is increasingly taking over the primary role in the Vikings' backfield, despite Mason's touchdown.
