When you play on Monday Night Football, the lights are just a LITTLE bit brighter. With the other 30 NFL teams either on bye or recovering from Thursday night and and full Sunday slate, Monday Night Football always features the last two teams remaining on the week.
EVERYONE is watching.
For some, it’s a little too much pressure. It took until Week 10 of the 2020 season for veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to finally snap his winless Monday Night Football streak of 0-9. For others, they love the spotlight.
Julio Jones had played in 10 Monday Night Football games heading into Week 6, racking up nearly 92 yards per game and adding four touchdowns to the mix. In Week 6, Julio once again flashed a flare for the dramatics when he caught one of the stranger plays of the year.
The ball appears to hit off the helmet of Bills DB Micah Hyde and straight up into the air. Jones impressively tracks the ball towards the sideline and somehow makes the tip-toe grab before falling out of bounds.
Julio would unfortunately be forced out of the game with a hamstring injury, so we didn’t see too much more out of the new Titans receiver.
