James Jones has the perfect reaction to Tucker Kraft's TD for Packers vs. 49ers
The Green Bay Packers are fighting for a spot in the NFC Championship Game. Despite entering the game as heavy underdogs, the Packers are more than holding their own against the No. 1-seed San Francisco 49ers.
After a low-scoring first half, the game came to life in the third quarter. Shortly after Christian McCaffrey gave the 49ers the lead on a 39-yard touchdown run, a 73-yard kick return from Keisean Nixon flipped the script.
Moments later, Jordan Love found Tucker Kraft for the go-ahead touchdown. Green Bay added two points on a pass to Aaron Jones to make it a seven-point game.
Former Packers wide receiver James Jones has made many big plays against the 49ers over the years. Now, he has to live each play as a fan like the rest of us.

As a player, you can directly impact the game. But Jones now has to enjoy Packers playoff games like the rest of us, which means living through the excitement of the big plays and feeling nervous for four hours.
Following Kraft's touchdown, Jones posted his reaction on social media, and it was perfect.
His reaction won't have been too dissimilar from Packers fans around the world. Green Bay had to convert a big special teams play into a touchdown, and they did.
There's still a lot of work to do in the fourth quarter, but the Packers are on top in this game. They entered as 10-point underdogs. They need one more successful quarter to shock the world for a second time in seven days.
Hopefully, we'll see more videos like this one from James Jones. But it's fair to say we will all be nervously watching every play in the fourth quarter of this game.
