Julio Jones made the Packers’ secondary look like a bunch of toddlers with a 73-yard touchdown catch

Sorry, Green Bay. It was fun.

Julio Jones looks like an adult playing in a pee-wee football game in the NFC Championship. In his latest feat of strength, he shook off a hold from LaDarius Gunter, then shook off the rest of the Packers’ secondary en route to a stiff-arming 73-yard touchdown to put his Falcons up 31-0 early in the third quarter.

The pass gave Jones more than 100 receiving yards on the afternoon, his eighth such performance of the season. The bullying catch-and-run was his second touchdown of the game. Prior to this, he was seen tiptoeing across the end zone in the sideline to put his Falcons up 24-0 at the half.

Meanwhile, Jones’ big catch put Matt Ryan at 367 total yards and four touchdowns on the afternoon. With a date in the Super Bowl seemingly less than 30 minutes away, the Falcons’ offense looks like it is reaching its peak.
