Great work by Matt Bowen deconstructing the 2nd Jones TD from 8 yards out.
Play designed to get one one one coverage in middle of field and clear out the LBs. This is McCarthy's job and, to a lesser extent Rodgers, to get that matchup.
But then Jones needs to beat his guy one on one. Its James Jones versus the nickel back and Jones wins. There is more on how the play developed, including more All-22 captures, in the full article, link below.
