The Green Bay Packers needed a closer during the fourth quarter of their Week 11 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. That's when they turned to veteran wide receiver James Jones, who has come through with big plays for the Packers all season.

With less than three minutes left to play, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers found Jones open in the end zone. Rodgers delivered a strike, but Jones' footwork near the sideline was the most impressive aspect of the scoring play.

The 27-yard touchdown reception put the Packers up by two scores, allowing the team to cruise to victory. Rodgers went to Jones earlier on the drive, too, as the duo put Green Bay in scoring position with a 37-yard connection. It was the team's longest completion of the game, and it took some serious concentration on Jones' part.

Jones finished the day with six catches for 109 yards. It was his second 100-yard outing of the season, and it came one week after he was held without a catch in a loss to the Detroit Lions.
