Heart Breaking News: Baltimore Ravens head coach and three key players dismissed after….
Nearly two weeks have passed since the sudden passing of Super Bowl 47 hero Jacoby Jones, and Baltimore Ravens nation is still in a state of mourning.
Jones, 40, played for four NFL teams throughout his nine-year career, but is most known for his time with the Ravens and particularly the team’s Super Bowl run in 2012.
The wide receiver and kick returner came up with three massive plays during that postseason, including a 70-yard receiving touchdown in the final minute of the Divisonal Round, a 56-yard receiving touchdown late in the first half of the Super Bowl and a 108-yard kickoff return to start off the second half of the same game.
Even years after his retirement, Jones remains a Ravens icon, which made his sudden passing that much more tragic.
On Saturday, Jones will be laid to rest in his hometown of New Orleans, and several prominent Ravens figures will be in attendance.
Chief among them is longtime Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, who called Baltimore home from 2008-2018 and now plays for the Indianpolis Colts.
Of course, Flacco and Jones are forever linked due to their achievements that postseason.
The two aforementioned receptions by Jones are among the the most iconic plays in Ravens history, and Flacco was obviously the one throwing the ball his way.
