Cardale Jones is reborn in the XFL and it doesn’t look like he can be stopped
Cardale Jones is perfect.
Well, not exactly – but he is perfect as a starter.

Just call Cardale ‘Chef Jones,’ because he was cooking in the kitchen today, just like last weekend.
He came out hot, dominating the action with his arm and his feet.

He only got hotter as he completed an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a touchdown to DeAndre Thompkins to take a 6-0 lead.

He was making all this happen despite facing a formidable New York Guardians defense. Last week, against the Tampa Bay Vipers, the Guardians had three interceptions, five sacks and allowed zero touchdowns.

But we can’t forget about Jones’ defense, which – like Cardale – was a force to be reckoned with.
We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again (probably many times).
They call them the Defenders for a reason.

They put up impressive numbers again as they forced three Guardian turnovers, including two interceptions of New York quarterback Matt McGloin.
They also sacked him three times and held him to 137 total yards.
MOOD in D.C. ?
The @XFLDefenders continue to put on a show

But the party wouldn’t be as lit without their QB1.
Seriously though, he is WILD.
