The Julio Jones legacy series had to end here. It had to conclude on a stage that couldn’t have been more momentous for the Falcons. They were hosting the NFC Championship for the first time in four years. They were firing on all cylinders offensively, becoming one of the most terrifying units in the last decade. With Matt Ryan being the NFL MVP and Jones flourishing in the prime of his career, everything was aligning nicely for Dan Quinn’s squad, facing a wounded but super dangerous Packers team.
What made this matchup even more memorable was that it was the final game inside the Georgia Dome.
