Bengal Bytes (10/26): Keeping up with Jones

3 things that went right, wrong in 6-0 start and questions

Here’s a look at the the superlatives thus far, including Offensive MVP, Defensive MVP, Biggest Surprise and Biggest Disappointment.

It was a tough blow for the Selma native, who worked hard in the offseason so that he could bounce back from an injury-plagued season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
