Broncos defensive tackle D.J. Jones records first fumble recovery of his career
Broncos defensive tackle D.J. Jones has been in the NFL for 7 years, but until Sunday's game he had never recorded a fumble recovery.
He got his first early in the fourth quarter against the Cleveland Browns on a critical play for the Denver defense. Jones chased after Pierre Strong Jr. on a reverse play and knocked the ball out. He recovered it at the Cleveland 20 yard line and was quickly brought down.
"I should have scored," Jones said in an interview on the field on the Broncos Radio Network after the game.
The Broncos offense took over and then scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive. The final score was Broncos 29, Browns 12.
Jones has had several forced fumbles in his career, which included five seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before his arrival in Denver in 2022.
