With Monday Night Football opening its’ season tonight, here is the 1967 football card of Homer Jones, who made a huge play in the first Monday Night Football game ever played in 1970. Playing for the Cleveland Browns, Jones returned the second half kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown to spark his team’s 31-21 win over Joe Namath’s Jets in that game. Jones played the first 6 years of his NFL career with the New York Giants as a split end and was a favorite target of Fran Tarkenton in those years, but was traded to Cleveland prior to the 1970 season. Knee injuries forced him to retire at age 29 after that lone season in Cleveland, but he left one lasting impression on the game. He was the first player to “spike” the ball in the end zone after scoring a touchdown. Jones is a cousin of another great wide receiver of the same era, Hall of Famer Charley Taylor.
