Maybe it’s playing college ball at LSU, and Jones’ deep ties to the area, that make playing against the Saints feel personal. Maybe it’s just the way Jones’ particular skill set matches up against this New Orleans team. Maybe it’s that Jones doesn’t like Drew Brees’ face. Whatever the reason, Jones plays absurdly great football against New Orleans, and he did it again on Thursday night.
Consider this: Debo ended his day against the Saints with seven tackles and six assists, including a couple of tackles for loss, and was regularly one of the first players to the ball.
