Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman could set marks against bad Saints defense

Not that Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman enter games thinking about individual numbers, but both Atlanta Falcons players have a chance to establish new standards against a bad New Orleans defense in the season finale.

Jones, who leads the league with 1,722 receiving yards on 127 receptions, has an outside chance of the NFL all-time mark in both categories. He is 243 receiving yards shy of surpassing Calvin Johnson's single-season record of 1,964 yards, set in 2012. And Jones is 17 catches away from surpassing Marvin Harrison's single-season receptions record of 143, established in 2002.
