"He's very talented – everybody in Baltimore knows that from his days at Gilman," Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh said. "But to see him break out, and to see the punt return team block the way they did without the penalties. For Cyrus, yes, that is a great, great story to see that happen. The fans were into it, they were excited for him, too.

"As soon as he caught it, I could tell we had some room. I have a lot of experience watching these plays from the sideline, so I could see it was blocked – or going to be blocked. Then you just hope that everyone makes good decisions, and they did. When he got to about to the 40, I knew it was done. It was fun. It was a big play, big play."

Jones has solidified the punt return position since being signed in early October after being released by the New England Patriots. Studying the Raiders on film during the week, Jones had a feeling he could take a return to the house.
