Adam Jones to kicker Mike Nugent: 'Do your job'
When it came to laying blame for an epic 37-37 tie on Sunday, Bengals cornerback Adam Jones didn't hesitate to point the finger at his own kicker.
Mike Nugent, who has struggled at times this season, pushed a 36-yard field goal wide right as time expired in overtime, giving the NFL a third consecutive season with a tie.
Jones, however, was not amused at being part of NFL history.
"We were in a perfect position to win the game, two seconds left on the clock, we've got to win the game," Jones told reporters after the game. "Everybody in here gets paid to do a job and that's what everybody needs to do."

Kelvin Benjamin: 'I didn't know you could tie in the NFL'
The best part about tie games in the NFL is that there is inevitably one player on the field who didn't know it was possible.
Back in 2008, it was Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles, some of whom admitted to asking team trainers during a game if overtime could end in a tie.
On Sunday, it was rookie Kelvin Benjamin after his Carolina Panthers and the Cleveland Browns ended Sunday's contest knotted at 37-37.
"I didn't know you could tie in the NFL," Benjamin told The Charlotte Observer following the game.
Unlike that 2008 Eagles team, though, there seemed to be enough urgency on the Carolina sideline to try and win the game despite Ron Rivera's hesitancy to live up to his nickname and pass up a field goal.
