Julio Jones on Bucs: 'They didn't make any adjustments so we kept throwing the ball'

Julio Jones went off big time in Sunday’s 34-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, making 12 catches for 253 yards and two touchdowns. Games like this aren’t exactly new for Jones, but Sunday he really looked un-coverable.

Even Jones was surprised that more adjustments weren’t made by Tampa’s defense. He said so after the game as reported by ESPN’s Vaughn McClure.

They were just playing quarters. They mixed a little man in. They didn’t make any adjustments, so we just kept throwing the ball.

The Buccaneers aren’t the first team to get stumped by Jones’ mix of size, speed and athleticism — and certainly won’t be the last. This season, however, Jones hasn’t looked that explosive. Plus, the Falcons are adjusting to Steve Sarkisian as offensive coordinator.

Jones looked plenty healthy Sunday, which is a great sign for this Falcons team going forward. It is now on a three-game winning streak and back in the playoff hunt.
