James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
In Tampa Bay, receiver Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons is giving the Buccaneers' secondary trouble. With a huge 80-yard touchdown, he now has 123 yards receving on the day with plenty of time left on the clock to add to his total. Josh Freeman has missed easy passes to Vincent Jackson, which could have evened up the score -- for now, the Falcons lead.
The Jacksonville Jaguars made a QB change this week as Blaine Gabbert went to injured reserve, allowing Chad Henne to be cemented as the starter for Mike Mularkey's team. While Cecil Shorts III hasn't had many opportunities, he's made the most of limited chances with a 59-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
