Solid
Travis Jones anchored Baltimore's defensive front with stout run defense, highlighted by a dominant third quarter featuring a tackle for loss and a forced fumble.
Jones anchored Baltimore's interior front effectively, shaking off an early rep where he was driven back by Cooper Beebe and TJ Bass (Q1 12:55) to consistently control multiple blockers. His peak impact came early in the second half, bursting through Beebe's reach block for a 1-yard tackle for loss (Q3 14:20) before diagnosing a screen to force a turnover against Jake Ferguson (Q3 10:40). Although his standard pass-rush production was modest aside from pocket-collapsing push (Q4 06:47), his 79 run-defense grade and two game-changing stops drove a solid 73.7 overall grade.
