Julio Jones will not be stopped.
The Atlanta Falcons superstar torched the Carolina Panthers for 300 yards receiving on Sunday, hitting the three-bills mark on a 75-yard touchdown in which Jones turned on the burners and left a trail of scorched Panthers defenders in his wake:
It's the NFL's sixth-ever 300-yard receiving game and, unsurprisingly, a Falcons record. Jones' previous high was 259 yards, set against the Green Bay Packers in 2014.
The NFL record for a single game is 336 yards, set by former Los Angeles Rams receiver Flipper Anderson in 1989.
Jones did his damage on 12 receptions. It came one week after the veteran managed just one catch for 16 yards in the Falcons' blowout win over the New Orleans Saints, an output that led some to question whether Jones might be battling a serious injury.
The verdict? He's healthy.
Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan also set a team record Sunday, throwing for 500 yards. His previous high was 448 yards set against the New Orleans Saints in 2014.
