FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons can afford to be patient with Julio Jones’s return from a sprained toe.

Atlanta has scored more than 40 points in two straight lopsided victories without Jones, their star wide receiver.

These are heady times for the Falcons’ offense, which has obliterated the team’s single-season scoring record with two games left in the regular season. The Falcons play at Carolina on Saturday.

Atlanta is the N.F.L.’s top-scoring team, and the race is not close. The Falcons (9-5) have 469 points, 63 more than the second-place Saints’ 406.
