Aaron Jones' mom wanted Vikings star benched over recent ball security issues

Jones fumbled on the 1st play of each of Minnesota's 1st 2 drives

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones said after his latest two-fumble game against the Arizona Cardinals, his mom was calling for him to get benched.

The Pro Bowl running back has struggled with ball security in his first season with the Vikings. Four of his last five fumbles have come in the last three games since his return from a rib injury.

In Sunday’s narrow victory over the Cardinals, Jones fumbled twice on the first play of each of Minnesota's first two drives.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed his vote of confidence in Jones, but according to Jones, his mom seemingly disagreed.
"She said, 'They needed to sit you down,’" he said Thursday, recalling the conversation he had with his mother, Vurgess Jones, after last week’s game.

"She was like, 'I don't know what's going on, but they need to take him out the game. They need to bench him right now.' Anytime I hear it from my mom, it's going to be worse."

Jones admitted that he was a bit speechless at his mother’s candor.

"I was like, 'Ah, you know, I gotta learn from it.’ She was like, 'Well, you didn't learn last week?'

"I kind of didn’t know what to say," he said laughing. "But it’s what I need. You know, my mom being hard on me – that was my dad for so many years, my dad's not here so now my mom’s kind of taken that role over without me asking her."

When coaches yell at you that's one thing...but when your FOLKS get on your case, that'll REALLY make your butt pucker.

Always told my kid, when he scores to give the ball to the ref. NEVER dance or flex or any of that "look at me" BS, or I'd never go to another game.

Good job momma J !

Cheers to Aaron Jones having some impactful games down the stretch. A very good dude.

Hes had some monster fumbles this year, still overall a good year, but damn if his ball security isnt a major concern. Game on the line, running out the clock but still needing to move the chains, not sure I want him on the field at this point until he can put together some weeks of better ball security, its not just the ones hes lost either, hes had several that were recovered by us, and a few more that the ball was loose as he was being tackled but never actually became a fumble, h3 needs to shore up that ball security issue now.

Wonder if he has an wrap on his waist for that rib injury which is making the ball “feel secure” when it is not?

Always felt that the guy least likely to fumble on any given down is the guy who just fumbled, so I agreed with KOC keeping him there after the first one. The 2nd one? Sit him down.

Game on the line and it was Aker on the field, likely doesnt mean much more than fresh legs, but damn if it didn't seem to work! Would also be a good time to get Chandler some work IMO.

Yeah, we’re going to need to add to the RB room next year. It’ll be tough with the 32nd pick.

Very nice TD run by Aaron Jones, good to see.
