A quarter of the NFL season has now come and gone, with the end of Week 4. Former Alabama standouts had big games for their teams this week.
Julio Jones destroyed the Panthers’ defense this week on the way to a 48-33 win. Jones finished with 12 catches for 300 yards and a touchdown. The 300 yards set a new Falcons’ single game record, as Jones breaks his own record that he set back in 2014.
Here is Jones’ huge 75-yard touchdown catch:
