Georgia Tech #ProJackets Football Report

A monster performance and a weekend of firsts headline this weeks’ edition of #ProJackets Football report.

JORDAN MASON had himself a Sunday, recording 16 carries for 116 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Vikings’ 41-10 trounce of the Cincinnati Bengals. Mason took over as the starting running back this week after an injury to Aaron Jones. This was Mason’s first career multi-touchdown performance and his third-highest yards-per-carry in a single game with 7.3 YPC. With Mason set to serve as the primary back for the Vikings over the next few weeks, fans can expect the former Yellow Jacket to continue to shine. The Vikings head to Ireland to play the Pittsburgh Steelers as a part of NFL International Games this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. on NFL Network.

JACKSON HAWES recorded his first career NFL touchdown on Thursday night, catching a 5-yard pass from Josh Allen in their 31-21 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Hawes continues to see the field increasingly more, appearing in 43% of offensive snaps this past week. Though he’s primarily used as a blocking tight end, the rookie’s value for the Bills grows by the week. The Bills host the New Orleans Saints this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. on CBS.
