Donnie Jones Could Help Pants Opponents In Playoffs
The most experienced NFL player on the Eagles' 53-man roster, Donnie Jones accomplished a first on Sunday.
The 14-year veteran went out onto the field with 5:39 remaining in the first half for one of his seven punts of the afternoon. Unbeknownst to him, he still had his black sweatpants on over his white uniform pants.
As Jones settled in to await the ball, long snapper Rick Lovato notified him of his wardrobe malfunction.
"I kind of start laughing out there but now I'm like, I got to refocus because I want to execute and get a good punt off," Jones said.
He did. The 39-yard boot was downed at the Cowboys' 4-yard line, one of three punts that put Dallas inside its own 20 on the day.
