It was a close contest heading into the the 4th quarter, but Jones was the only contestant in the top three to have Pittsburgh’s Martavis Bryant on his roster, and with the star wide receiver’s catches late in the game, Jones was able to pull ahead of the competition.

The final tally of the two-round competition saw Jones amass 352.96 points, outscoring second place finisher dany1234 by just over 14 points.
