Former Alabama and current Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones continued what has been a career season with another big performance in Thursday’s 43-28 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Jones recorded eight receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown, including the graceful play shown above, where he displays fantastic footwork to stay in bounds. The former Crimson Tide standout was targeted 11 times in Thursday’s victory.
Jones leads the NFL with 970 receiving yards and also has 51 receptions and five touchdowns in 2016. The Falcons currently have the league’s top-ranked total offense with 429.2 yards per game and scoring offense with 33.9 points per game.
“We’re definitely a dangerous offense,” Jones said, via Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. “I’m not talking it up just to talk it up because I’m on this team, but it’s one of the best offenses that I’ve played on since I’ve been here. The way we can move the ball around, guys make plays all over the board.”
