didn't he cause the game sealing INT against the Falcons?
Yes. And he did the same thing against Baltimore.

I think every dolphin fan can say he looked good. If you think otherwise than you don't understand football. It's not all about stats. He straight up made some nfl tackles look like pee wee players with the way he exploded off the line and put pressure on the qb. He had some great pressure in the colts game and a huge goaline tackle on third down that kept the colts out of the endzone. Also the reason for flacco throwing a pick 6 to reshad jones. Find the stat for pressures, think he had literally like half the snaps that ensah took and had around the same pressures.
https://www.profootballfocus.com/bl...stats-pass-rushing-productivity-edge-rushers/It makes it a lot easier to write this paragraph when a rookie stands out for the pressure he consistently gets only this year there was no Von Miller or Aldon Smith who took the league by storm in Year 1, with the highest rookie finishing 41st in terms of productivity. That man was Dion Jordan and he only just qualified after rushing the passer 201 times as he was limited to an obvious passing down role.
http://www.rantsports.com/nfl/2014/...hy-trading-dion-jordan-would-be-huge-mistake/Miami’s coaching staff blamed a strength deficiency on Jordan’s limited snaps, citing a shoulder injury that prevented him from bulking up in the weight room last offseason. While Jordan was no stout run defender as a rookie, he didn’t grade as a liability against the run like the Dolphins seemingly suggest. According to Pro Football Focus, Jordan received a -0.5 run defense grade in 2013, which wasn’t much lower than the -0.2 grade Cameron Wake earned against the run.
Even if the Dolphins were justifiably uneasy about playing Jordan more on early downs, they could have still given him more opportunities to rush the passer. He may have only produced two sacks, but Jordan tallied a sack, quarterback hit or pressure on nearly 12 percent of his pass rushing snaps. Olivier Vernon, who led the Dolphins with 11.5 sacks, only produced a sack, quarterback hit or hurry on a little over nine percent of his rushes. Pro Football Focus actually ranked Jordan as the league’s 21st-most efficient pass rusher while ranking Vernon 39th.
