Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones isn’t here for the doubters anymore. After the Vikings’ emotional win over the Detroit Lions, Jones made it clear that anyone still questioning Minnesota’s legitimacy is making a huge mistake.
In the locker room after the game, Jones reportedly told reporters that the team has “found its rhythm” and is “only getting started.” The veteran back, who’s been a quiet leader since joining Minnesota, emphasized that the group’s belief in itself never wavered — even after a rough start to the season.
The Vikings’ victory over Detroit wasn’t just another notch in the win column — it was a statement performance, powered by physical defense and big-time plays from quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Jones’ energy on and off the field helped set the tone, showing flashes of the explosive runner who can take over a game when healthy.
With Jones now fully dialed in and the Vikings gaining momentum, the NFC North suddenly feels a lot tighter. The message from Jones to the rest of the league is loud and clear: count the Vikings out at your own risk.
