Former Ravens Wide Receiver Jacoby Jones Dies at 40, Remembered for “Mile-High Miracle” and Super Bowl Record

Retired Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones has died at age 40. Drafted by the Houston Texans in 2007, he played there for four years before joining the Ravens from 2012-2014, earning a Pro Bowl spot in 2012.

Jones is best remembered for the “Mile-High Miracle,” his game-tying 70-yard touchdown catch in a playoff game against the Denver Broncos, leading to a 38-35 double-overtime victory. He also set a Super Bowl record with a 108-yard kickoff return against the San Francisco 49ers.

After stints with the San Diego Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers, he retired as a Raven in 2017 and later coached at Morgan State and Alabama State universities.

The cause of his death has not been disclosed. Rest in peace, Jacoby Jones.
