Falcons receiver Julio Jones has a knack for flying under the radar. Notwithstanding some of the unfair criticism he endured during the first half of the season, Jones kept quietly racking up receiving yards. There was some concern about Julio going into today’s game. After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, he was finally able to get in some work on Friday. Then today during the third quarter, Jones hit the 1,400 receiving yards mark for the fifth consecutive season. He passed the 1,400 receiving yards mark with a fourth quarter touchdown reception, his second of the day.
