Unfortunately I've never seen Matt Jones play in person. Was really looking forward to it, but his knee injury prevented that. If he's as good a back as he is a teammate, he'll be playing someday on Sunday. Surely disappointed not to be playing on the big stage, it never showed. Jones led the team in prayer, on the sideline and when the game was on the line he exalted his team positively. That kind of behavior can't be understated. Several of his teammates said they actually played for him and were extremely sorry he wasn't out there, not because he's such a talent, but because they knew how hard he had worked to get to this moment. Even in street clothes, Jones contributed greatly to the victory.
