Jack Jones interception: Raiders' pick-6 on Easton Stick had NFL world, Mark Davis in disbelief image

It seemed like everything went right for the Raiders on "Thursday Night Football" against the Chargers. And it got to the point where even Las Vegas team owner Mark Davis couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The Raiders were already up a whopping 56-7, when Easton Stick dropped back from the Chargers' 22-yard line. He attempted a quick swing pass to Austin Ekeler, but Raiders cornerback Jack Jones jumped through the line, made a one-handed grab and easily walked it 16 yards into the end zone for a pick-six.

That interception pushed the Raiders' lead to 63-7 with 14:31 left in the fourth quarter. The Chargers did wind up scoring touchdowns on their next two drives to make the score a more respectable 63-21 loss, but it still ended as one of the worst losses of the season for any team.

It was Jones' first interception of the season, and his first with the Raiders since he was waived by the Patriots and claimed off waivers by Las Vegas. Last season, he picked up a pair of interceptions, including one for a 40-yard touchdown.

Jones' pick-six left Davis stunned from his box with his team running away with the AFC West clash.

It might have caught Davis by surprise, but Jones said he's always been that way.

Davis was far from the only one in disbelief over the interception. Plenty across the NFL world were shocked to see Jones come down with the ball and bring it back for six.
