On September 4, 2025, UTEP alum Aaron Jones, who currently plays for the Minnesota Vikings, made headlines during a Monday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears. With just under 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Jones scored a go-ahead touchdown to put the Vikings up 27-24.
Following the score, Jones sprinted towards a nearby camera and flashed the digits "915" - a nod to the area code of his hometown of El Paso, Texas. This has become a signature celebration for Jones, who has done this gesture several times throughout his 8-year NFL career.
The Vikings were able to hold on to their lead and defeat the Bears by the final score of 27-24. This victory marks another impressive performance for Jones, who has established himself as a key contributor for the Vikings since being drafted out of UTEP in 2017.
