The Falcoholic on Julio Jones
From the article
Two straight catches of 17+ yards by Julio Jones set the tone... Similar to Ryan, this was one of Jones' all-time greatest performances via catching nine passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns. The Packers couldn't contain him, which played a big part in their inability to slow down Atlanta's relentless offensive machine.
STACKED’s take
Jones' nine-catch, 180-yard, two-TD masterclass dominated Gunter and Packers secondary in NFC Championship.
Julio Jones delivered one of his all-time greatest performances in the NFC Championship, catching nine passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns; he set the tone early with two straight catches of 17+ yards, made tough catches across the middle, and converted another third-and-long with a 19-yard gain crossing under Sanu and Gabriel; Jones dominated LaDarius Gunter throughout the game, leaving the Packers' secondary searching for answers; in the second half, he made an iconic play off play action where he got past Gunter's jam at the line, burst through his tackle attempt, and delivered a vicious stiff arm on Damarious Randall; later made an extraordinary leaping catch where Gunter flipped him over mid-air after going low on the tackle, with Jake Ryan taken out in the process; the Packers couldn't contain him, which played a big part in their inability to slow down Atlanta's relentless offensive machine.
