Lions' Marvin Jones: Quiet in Week 8 loss

Jones caught three passes for 33 yards Sunday against the Texans.

Analysis:

Jones logged his second-lowest receiving total of the season Sunday despite having the most targets sent his way in four weeks. What may be of more concern, though, is the matter of TE Eric Ebron and RB Theo Riddick consuming the majority of Matthew Stafford's attention in their respective returns from injury; those two accounted for over half of the team's 41 available looks in the passing game. Owners shouldn't expect a bounce-back from Jones to come in short order, as a meeting with the Vikings' formidable passing defense awaits in Week 9.
