The Falcons struggled for several years following their first NFC championship with Mat Ryan at the helm. The draft picks given up to acquire Julio Jones were responsible for the shallowness of the roster.
But Jones' performance on Sunday shows why so much capital was put in his acquisition. After the first two drives of the game, and after the completion of the offensive script, when the Falcons needed to keep momentum going to keep a potential furious Aaron Rodgers rally at bay, they turned to Jones. He was their offense.
