Jones Scores First TD Since Week 10, Toughs Out Leg Injury in Win

Vikings RB Aaron Jones carried the ball 18 times for 53 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 10 yards, in the 23-10 Christmas Day win over the Lions. He briefly exited in the second quarter with a left leg injury but returned after halftime. His one-yard touchdown plunge in the first quarter marked his first score since Week 10 and only his second rushing touchdown of the season. Jones has seen an increased workload over the past two weeks, accumulating 156 scrimmage yards on 44 touches, with Jordan Mason (ankle) sidelined.
