Julio Jones is the football equivalent of sticking a Game Genie on your Sega. The Green Bay Packers learned that the hard way after Jones’ tip-toe touchdown gave the Atlanta Falcons a 24-0 halftime lead in the 2017 NFC Championship.
Julio Jones’ footwork was masterful on his touchdown catch against Packers
Jones knew exactly where he was to put the Falcons up 24-0.
Jones’ sixth catch of the afternoon was his finest. The All-Pro wideout shook off cornerback LaDarius Gunter to secure a 5-yard pass from Matt Ryan, then used every inch of the end zone to ensure his feet stayed in bounds long enough to record a touchdown. Though the play went to an automatic officials’ review, the tape only confirmed Jones’ wizardry along the sideline.
The touchdown pass was Ryan’s second of the day and third overall. The veteran quarterback is making a statement Sunday, outplaying Aaron Rodgers in his most important game of the season — so far.
