By his standards, a four-reception, 66-yard performance is a quiet output, but Atlanta Falcons All-Pro receiver Julio Jones still managed to make some history in the process.

Jones hauled in the 500th catch of his career Sunday versus the Chicago Bears, in just his 80th game, tying the recently retired Anquan Boldin as the only wideouts in NFL history to achieve the feat so quickly, according to Maghen Moore of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

The four-time Pro Bowler is in his seventh season, and it won't be surprising if he manages to set a few more records along the way.
