Baltimore Ravens Jacoby Jones ran back a 108-yard kickoff return in Sunday night’s loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Lost in the shuffle of another six touchdown performance by Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was yet another big kickoff return by Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones. Once again Jones had the Steelers coverage beat and once again he was sprinting along the sideline of the Steelers bench. This time though, there was no Mike Tomlin to stop Jones as he ran the kickoff back for 108 yards and an easy touchdown.

Jacoby Jones is always a pleasure to watch return kicks because he is pure speed. He’s not a mover or a shaker, instead preferring to simply blow right past coverage guys. That freakish speed and length was on display as he cut to the middle then faded to the sideline, easily outrunning every coverage man in black and yellow on the field.
The return would bring the Ravens back to a 29-17 deficit, but the Steelers offense just wouldn’t quit as Martavis Bryant answered with his second touchdown reception of the game on the next drive en route to a 43-23 Pittsburgh win.
