Matty Ice and Jet Jones Relationship

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones falls into this category as the NFL's most physically gifted target. Because Jones has the ability to dominate on a weekly basis, he makes quarterback Matt Ryan better. As a result, the Falcons offense is operating at a level previously unseen in the franchise's history. Entering Sunday's contest against the rival Carolina Panthers, the Falcons already developed into the league's best offense and led the NFL in yards per game, yards per play and yards per pass play. Those numbers improved after Sunday's 48-33 victory. Ryan threw for a career-high 503 yards, while Jones became the sixth wide receiver in NFL history to register a 300-yard game, according to ESPN.

Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan found ways to exploit a suspect secondary, and the game plan appeared relatively simple: Feed Jones the ball. This became an important rebound performance after a one-catch, 16-yard showing against the New Orleans Saints. As such, a concerted effort was made to get the ball in Jones' hands a week later. After all, the Falcons' No. 1 wide receiver led the league last season with 136 receptions for 1,871 yards. Here's the scary part for the rest of the league: He can be even better, and the dichotomy seen over the last two games shows exactly why. Jones can and will take over games, but he doesn't have to anymore. That's the beauty of the Falcons offense as it's currently constructed. There were times over the last few seasons when shutting down Atlanta's top target would force the entire offense to sputter. This is no longer the case. Even when the Saints blanketed Jones, the Falcons amassed 442 yards with 217 coming on the ground.
