METAIRIE, La. -- Somehow, Cameron Jordan just keeps raising the bar.
It seemed like the New Orleans Saints defensive end might have reached a peak in 2017, in his seventh NFL season, when he earned first-team All-Pro honors for the first time and recorded a rare feat that he dubbed as a “triple-double” (double-digit sacks, tackles for loss and batted passes).
But now, at age 30, Jordan is aiming higher. After a career-high four sacks in front of a prime-time audience on Thanksgiving night against the Atlanta Falcons, Jordan ranks second in the league with a career-high 13.
