When asked after the New York Giants’ 25-3 blowout victory over the Carolina Panthers about the last time he made a reception, much less a one-handed grab, Jones could not provide specifics.
“I don’t remember one,” he said. Maybe high school.
The grab, which happened at 4:54 in the third quarter on the Panthers’ 48-yard line, was also unlike anything many Giants fan could recall in recent memory from their quarterback. On a trick play, wide receiver Dante Pettis threw a pass to Jones on the sideline. Jones extended his right hand and grabbed the ball with one hand to complete a 16-yard play and advance to the Carolina 32-yard line.
