ATLANTA — We saw the best wide receiver in football on Monday night. People don't call him anything cute like "Megatron" or "Dez" or "Jordy" or "OBJ."
They call him Julio Jones. And he's now become clearly the best. I'm not even sure it's close any longer. The gap between Jones and other receivers continues to widen. The distance between Jones and the second guy is now an arm's length. And as he continues to grow and dominate, get faster and stronger, that space might soon be solar system-sized.
This isn't reactionary. It's not just about how Jones atomized the Philadelphia secondary in Atlanta's 26-24 win.
