Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach threatens to cover Julio Jones with 10 players on Monday night

When Atlanta and Tampa Bay squared off in an NFC South game on Nov. 26, Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones caught 12 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-20 victory over the Buccaneers.

The day after that game, Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter summed up what went wrong.

"We didn't handle Julio. We didn't handle him at all," Koetter said. "He had seven plays over 20 yards. It's a combination of a lot of different stuff. We played 14 different coverages yesterday. We played 14 different coverages, and none of them worked.
