- Content: El apoyador de los Seattle Seahawks, Ernest Jones, compartió un humilde y sincero mensaje a su equipo el domingo después de ganar el balón del partido en una gran victoria sobre los Minnesota Vikings.
“Real quick, I just want to say this, man. I’ve been through a lot this year, but earlier this week, I told a couple of guys this, man. I found myself feeling stuck, bro. And I found myself feeling like I was missing something. And what I was missing was God, man. I got back on my knees. I started back praying, bro. And just look at what we got, man,” Jones compartió en el vestuario.
“So I say that to say, it’s bigger than this interception. It’s bigger than that, bro. I got my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, back, and I’m with my boy,” añadió.
Jones ha tenido una temporada de Pro Bowl hasta ahora, y llega después de que perdiera a su padre a causa del cáncer justo antes de que comenzara la temporada.

“It’s been tough”, compartió el atleta. “The release that I get is being around these guys and playing football”.
El entrenador en jefe Mike Macdonald habló con los medios sobre la perseverancia de Jones a través de la adversidad.
“The guy has been through a lot,” Macdonald comenzó. “…That’s really the reason you have a team, is that you can be there for your brother when they need you. I know we’re in a business and there’s transactions and stuff, but at the end of the day, these are the relationships you’re going to have for a long time hopefully, and it’s really great to see that the rest of the guys are there to support him”.
“And he’s playing great football…He’s battled through some health things throughout the year as well. Some of the plays he’s making in the run game, too, is just really tremendous, really great plays that allows us to really call some defenses that you normally wouldn’t call in those situations,” añadió el entrenador en jefe.
El domingo, Jones “interceptó un pase mal aconsejado del novato Max Brosmer en cuarta y una, devolviéndolo para un pick-six de 85 yardas para ayudar a darle a Seattle una ventaja de 13-0 en el medio tiempo”, informó NBC Sports .
“I saw DeMarcus holding him, getting ready to bring him to the ground,” Jones dijo a los medios después del partido, “and when you catch these interceptions, everything kind of slows down. So I’m thinking, ‘There’s no way he’s about to throw this.’ He let it go and then I catch it, and I’m like, ‘There’s nobody in front of me.'”
No fue la victoria lo que más importó a Jones; fue el hecho de que rededicó su vida a JESUS CHRIST lo que le ayudó a encontrar su alegría de nuevo.
