The last thing Velus Jones could afford to do Saturday was fumble.
He did just that.
On the first play of the second quarter Saturday, Jones let a punt hit at the 37-yard line — he was at the 35 — then had to backpedal to try to catch the ball on the bounce. He reached for the ball, muffed it, and was hit by Titans safety Mike Brown. The ball caromed off Brown’s back and was recovered by Titans linebacker Luke Gifford.
