Kick returner Jacoby Jones looked much better in this game than he did last week, as he displayed the quickness and agility that we are used to seeing from him. He returned two punts – one going for 14 yards and his next going for 33. He did not return a single kickoff in the game, as Steelers’ kicker Shaun Suisham was able to kick the ball out of the back of the end zone every time.
Justin Tucker hit all four of his field goals attempted in this game, but they were all chip-shots. His longest kick was from 30-yards out and all his others were in the 20’s range. I like seeing Tucker out on the field, but put his leg to better use than that, please.
Sam Koch booted two punts and they were both beautiful. One traveled 56 yards and the other traveled 54.
Grade: A
