No. 2:  Julio Jones 300 yards vs Panthers

The 2nd best performance on this list belongs to none other than Julio Jones.  In week 4, Julio Jones exploded.  He exploited a struggling Panthers defense for a record breaking day.

On this day, Julio Jones finished with 300 yards receiving and a touchdown for good measure.

That’s insane right?

It is, he posted the 6th most receiving yards ever in a single NFL game.  He set a franchise record for the Atlanta Falcons, also helping Matt Ryan set a franchise record for passing yards in a single game.

He repetitively blew by Panthers defenders like it was nothing.  The picture above accurately depicts the game, as Panthers secondary was left chasing and on the ground.  This massive performance earns my No. 2 spot on the season to date.
