description

The popular thought in football’s world is that by age 30, running backs are officially “over the hill”; with a career-best 1,519 scrimmage yards in 2009, Thomas Jones found that it only made his downhill attack that much harder to tackle. Aging like a fine wine, Jones used power to escape Oct. 18, 2009’s first defensive wave before turning on the figurative “jets,”instinctually following blocks to guide a 64-yard carry. Collecting a just-as-brilliant 71-yard tote a few commercial breaks later, New York’s taliback proved brilliant, even in a 16-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Jones eventually set a nine-year record for the most single-game rushing yards in Jets colors, turning 22 carries into 210 yards, alongside a two-catch, 17-yard support.
