Ernest Jones made one of the better interceptions of the Rams’ season so far when he came up with a juggling pick against the Raiders on Thursday night. It came at a perfect time, too.
The Raiders were deep in Rams territory and threatening to go up 20-3 if they could score a touchdown, but pressure from Greg Gaines led to an ill-advised throw by Derek Carr, which Jones tracked and pulled in in the end zone for a clutch turnover.
It may not qualify as a true one-handed pick because he tipped it to himself, but it was a beautiful play, nonetheless.
