The Vikings had some trouble blocking for quarterback J.J. McCarthy in Week 2 as the young quarterback was sacked six times during Minnesota's game against the Falcons on .
One teammate who did block for McCarthy was running back Aaron Jones.
Facing second-and-20 late in the third quarter McCarthy dropped back, didn't see anyone and stepped up in the pocket and took off running. Jones wasted no time finding a defensive back to block and absolutely trucked Dee Alford.
Jones put his shoulder down and put the fourth-year veteran on the ground as McCarthy ran around him for a 16-yard gain. You can watch the full play here.
The good news for the VIkings is that they have a quarterback who can run and a running back who is a willing blocker in the open field. The bad news is that they ended up punting two plays later.
