ATLANTA
Julio Jones should end up in the nightmares of numerous Carolina Panthers defensive backs after Sunday.
The Atlanta Falcons star wide receiver dominated with 12 catches for 300 yards, including a 75-yard hookup with quarterback Matt Ryan for a touchdown, in Atlanta’s 48-33 victory at the Georgia Dome.
The Panthers closed the gap to 41-33 late in the game before Falcons cornerback Robert Alford returned an interception of Derek Anderson for a touchdown with 1 minute, 14 seconds left.
The loss dropped the reigning NFC Champion Panthers to 1-3, and the costs of this one could linger.
