Alabama NFL roundup: Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley set receiving records for Falcons

Former Alabama wide receivers Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are now a record-breaking pair for the Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately for the Falcons, they're having a tough time turning those stats into victories.

On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals scored a touchdown with seven seconds to play to grab a 37-36 victory over Atlanta. Last week, the Falcons lost 43-37 in overtime to the New Orleans Saints, so Sunday's loss made Atlanta the first team since the 1966 New York Giants to score at least 36 points in consecutive games and lose both of them.

That took the fun out of the performances of Jones and Ridley for the Falcons.
