Whether Mike Tomlin tried to trip Jacoby Jones or simply scare him (hey, that leg-sweep dance move is a huge hit at weddings), his leg protruded for one reason.
Jones was a threat to score on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Steelers don't have a kick-returning threat to score on other teams. That's why they gave up on third-round pick Dri Archer in favor of Jones, who has 10,000-plus total yards receiving, rushing or returning since 2007.
Jones will help, even if he's lost a step.
Jones' return numbers dipped to 21.
