Nazair Jones got a notable interception (and a black eye) on first career snap

Posted Sep 14, 2017
Seattle Seahawks rookie defensive tackle Nazair Jones didn't end up with the football from his interception of Aaron Rodgers on Sunday. He got a much different souvenir instead. "The ball hit me in the face," Jones told "Danny, Dave and Moore" on 710 ESPN Seattle. "The ball actually hit me in the eye. I actually have like a little bit of a black eye right now." (ESPN.com)
