That was 3 years earlier, on Monday Night Football from September of 1978.

It was the first season in which the Colts went largely without Jones. They lost the first 2 games of the season by a combined score of of 80-0, and were playing the Patriots on their homefield ........ so the Colts were underdogs by more than 14 points.

Jones was cheering his ass off from the sidelines with his arm in a sling whenever the Colts scored a touchdown, as Washington and company went wild on the heavily-favored Patriots (who would go on to win the division with a record of 11-5.)

Washington was involved in 3 TD's ....... 1 passing, 1 receiving, and 1 on a kickoff return late in the 4th quarter which proved to be the game-winner.
