FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones, who delivered an emotional locker room message which included support for embattled coach Dan Quinn following last Sunday's 37-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, explained the reason by his impromptu speech.
"It's just one of those things; it's just a team thing, that's all it is,'' Jones told reporters Thursday. "Guys look up at me, look towards me in those situations. We're just trying to figure out things. That's all it was.''
WSB-TV Atlanta first reported how Jones interrupted Quinn following the coach's post-game talk to shoulder some of the burden for a 1-6 start, which includes the Falcons' current five-game losing streak.
