The Ravens struck gold when they signed Jacoby Jones in the offseason. While his contributions as a wide receiver haven't been noteworthy, Jones has become a special teams dynamo. He made yet another amazing play in the first quarter against Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh punted from deep inside its own red zone and Jones caught the ball inside Baltimore's 40-yard line. He took a few steps to his left and then cut up the field, darting through a couple of Steelers defenders. Jones nearly got tripped up near Pittsburgh's 30-yard line as he cut across the field, but after keeping his feet the only player he needed to beat was punter Drew Butler.
The punt return gave Baltimore a 10-7 lead. It turned out to be the only touchdown the Ravens scored as they went on to win 13-10.
It was Jones' third return touchdown of the season and first on a punt. It was just last week when he returned a kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown against the Raiders. And a few weeks before that, he tied an NFL record with a 108-yard kickoff return touchdown against Dallas.
As Jones continues to become one of the best return men in the league, he's also climbing the Most-Entertaining-Touchdown-Celebration list.
