The NFL fiend New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan $38,602 for two personal fouls he committed during last week’s game against the Carolina Panthers, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Saturday.
Jordan was penalized for striking Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen in the face mask after the whistle, a mistake he later owned up to. As Jordan explained it, he was trying to force a fumble out of Allen while he was being spun to the ground by teammate Demario Davis. The Saints’ defensive captain acknowledged that he has to play the game with better awareness and avoid hurting his team with senseless mistakes like that, promising to make up for it in his next outing.
And he did just that in Thursday night’s game with the Atlanta Falcons. Jordan accounted for four of the Saints’ nine sacks on the evening, setting a new personal-best for a single game. He has logged 13.5 sacks on the 2019 season and now ranks second-best in the Saints record books with 85 sacks, trailing only Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Rickey Jackson (115). Expect more big plays out of Jordan as the Saints pursue the top seed in the NFC playoff picture.
