Jacksonville Jaguars punter Logan Cooke has a perfect record, in two regards, in throwing off fake punts.
Of course, if the Jags did it more often, teams would be ready for it.
When Cooke completed a 13-yard pass to Tim Jones on a fourth-and-two situation late in the second quarter of their game against the New Orleans Saints in the Caesars Superdome, it was his fourth pass completion in four career attempts on fake punts as an NFL player.
The first down took the ball to the Saints' 33 with 50 seconds left in the half and led to a 43-yard field goal by Brandon McManus to give the Jaguars a 17-6 lead.
It was also a nice moment for two Mississippi kids playing close to home. Cooke is from Darbun, Miss., and went to Mississippi State and Jones is from Biloxi, Miss., and went to Southern Miss.
Not only is Cooke 4-for-4 passing (for 33 yards) but the Jaguars have made a first down on each of his completions and then gone on to score. They got touchdowns after fake punts against the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 and the Los Angeles Chargers in 2019, and got field goals following a fake against Atlanta in 2019 and Thursday against the Saints.
