Julio Jones setting NFL receiving records -- except in touchdowns

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones continues to reach accomplishments that have never been achieved previously. On Sunday, he'll play his 100th regular-season game already holding the NFL record for the most receiving yards by a player in his first 100 games.

With 502 receiving yards in 2018, the former Alabama standout is on pace to become the NFL's first 2,000-yard receiver.

But the recent focus on Jones' performance has seemingly been turning away from his statistical superior to the one spot on his score sheet that doesn't measure up (or surpass) the game's legends -- touchdowns.
