It's safe to say that the Cincinnati Bengals are pretty happy with the fifth-round pick they spent on Cal receiver Marvin Jones in the 2012 draft. Jones caught just 18 passes for 201 yards and a touchdown in his rookie campaign, but he really blasted onto the scene when he caught four touchdown passes against the New York Jets on Oct. 27 of this year. He also caught touchdown passes in Weeks 13 and 14, adding to a late-season surge for Jones and his team. But no catch he's made to date was as impressive as the one he pulled in against the Baltimore Ravens with two minutes left in the first half of Sunday's game.

SI.com contributing NFL writer and Seattle resident Doug Farrar started writing about football locally in 2002, and became Football Outsiders' West Coast NFL guy in 2006. He was fascinated by FO's idea to combine Bill James with Dr. Z, and wrote for the site for six years. He wrote a game-tape column called "Cover-2" for a number of years, and contributed to six editions of "Pro Football Prospectus" and the "Football Outsiders Almanac." In 2009, Doug was invited to join Yahoo Sports' NFL team, and covered Senior Bowls, scouting combines, Super Bowls, and all sorts of other things for Yahoo Sports and the Shutdown Corner blog through June, 2013. Doug received the proverbial offer he couldn't refuse from SI.com in 2013, and that was that. Doug has also written for the Seattle Times, the Washington Post, the New York Sun, FOX Sports, ESPN.com, and ESPN The Magazine. He also makes regular appearances on several local and national radio shows, and has hosted several podcasts over the years. He counts Dan Jenkins, Thomas Boswell, Frank Deford, Ralph Wiley, Peter King, and Bill Simmons as the writers who made him want to do this for a living. In his rare off-time, Doug can be found reading, hiking, working out, searching for new Hendrix, Who, and MC5 bootlegs, and wondering if the Mariners will ever be good again.
