It’s not often that a receiver can increase his total season yardage output by 159% in one game, especially when that game is his fourth of the year. Julio Jones is a different breed of receiver.
Jones posted the fourth 300-yard game by a receiver in NFL history on Sunday, hitting the mark exactly on 12 catches. Jones’s final grab was a 75-yard touchdown on Atlanta’s first play from scrimmage after Carolina cut it to a one-score game with a little less than four minutes. The Falcons would go on to win 48–33, moving to 3–1 on the season with every other team in the NFC South sitting at 1–3.
