FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian isn't neglecting star wide receiver Julio Jones, and Sarkisian certainly wants to find ways to get Jones more involved throughout an entire game.
Sarkisian knows there have been instances through the first two contests where Jones hasn't been utilized as much as expected, despite the Falcons' 2-0 record. Jones, who leads the team with 174 receiving on nine catches with 14 targets, did not have a catch or target in the third quarter of each of the first two games.
In fact, Jones has just one second-half catch in each of the last three games he's played in, including the playoffs, as noted by ESPN Stats and Info.
