Instant Reaction: Falcons 23, Jaguars 17

After one of the most frustrating stretches in team history, the Falcons corrected a number of key issues Sunday in Jacksonville and came away with a hard-fought 23-17 win. Matt Ryan completed 22 of 35 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown, and Julio Jones came up big yet again—this time for nine catches, 118 receiving yards and a score. The superstar receiver also broke the franchise single-season receptions record with his 116th catch of 2015, passing teammate Roddy White.

Up three late in the fourth quarter, Ryan put together an efficient yet time-consuming possession that resulted in a Shayne Graham field goal—forcing Jacksonville to go for a touchdown with less than two minutes left in regulation.
