CHICAGO — Velus Jones Jr. has given it some thought. If he had that one sequence from last week’s loss to the Washington Commanders to do over again, if he had a redo on the punt he muffed inside the Chicago Bears 10-yard line with 8 minutes, 12 seconds remaining, he would have just stayed away.
“I would have let the ball go,” Jones said after practice Friday at Halas Hall. “I felt like I got outside myself. I was trying to make something happen because the game was still so close. But that was a ball that would have been a touchback.
“At the end of the day, it’s about being smarter and not making wild decisions. When you try to do too much instead of just being yourself, that’s when chaos happens.”
