Barely a week after the Atlanta Falcons made Julio Jones the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, the 30-year-old superstar used Atlanta's 2019 home opener to show the football world exactly why he's worth that $22 million average annual salary.
Jones scored twice and went over 100 yards as the Falcons finally solved the rival Philadelphia Eagles in a 24-20 victory Sunday night, but one play in particular did the trick.
It came just when a hero was needed—just when it looked like the Falcons were destined to suffer their third heart-breaking loss to the Eagles in 20 months.
