Legendary touchdown
Ravens’ Super Bowl hero Jacoby Jones (40) is dead!
The Baltimore Ravens are mourning the loss of a franchise legend. Jacoby Jones has passed away at the age of just 40, his former NFL team announced on Sunday.
"Jacoby had a unique ability to get along with everyone he encountered. His charisma, joy and love created a unique presence that could light up any room and any dark day," the Ravens said in a statement.
"Mile High Miracle"
Jones was selected with the 73rd pick in the 2007 draft by the Houston Texans. In 2012, the wide receiver and return specialist moved to Baltimore, where he became a club legend with the "Mile High Miracle", when he caught a 70-yard pass from Joe Flacco in the play-off game against the Denver Broncos, saving the Ravens in overtime, where they ultimately prevailed against Denver.
Fans will also remember his 108-yard kickoff return in Super Bowl XLVII against the San Francisco 49ers on February 3, 2013.
Over the course of his career, the US American scored a total of 28 touchdowns and was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2012. Jones has now died at the age of 40, the cause of death is not publicly known.
