4. Chandler Jones will have another multi-sack game

Chandler Jones was electric in Week 1. He had five sacks and forced two fumbles. Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan straight up admitted that Jones kicked his ass.

Jones is on track to have a career year, and there is almost no way a sloppy Minnesota offensive line is going to stop him. They were penalized nine times in their opener and allowed three sacks on Kirk Cousins. To make matters worse for them, an injured Christian Darrisaw doesn’t seem to be in any shape to return for Week 2.

This will be another favorable matchup for Jones. He’ll continue his hot streak with a second multi-sack game. He may not find himself standing over Cousins five times, but there is no way that Minnesota can hold him back with the way they’ve performed. Unless Kirk Cousins magically improves his scramble game overnight, he better prepare to become well acquainted with Chandler Jones.
