That’s Jonathan Jones pulling his best Superman and knocking the ball back to Rex Burkhead, who also gives it his all. The heroic efforts saved New England 19 yards of field position and will be featured in special teams film rooms for decades to come.
This footage will inspire Tommys and Timmys everywhere to try hard on kick coverage and maybe, just maybe, coach will give them a shot with the first string.
Powerful imagery bound to move a person on a deep, personal level.
