The Atlanta Falcons could still end up with the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoffs, thanks to the Detroit Lions' loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. Given what Julio Jones has done so far in the Falcons' regular season finale against the lowly Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it's fairly likely that they will.
Atlanta is up 28-0 early in the second quarter against Tampa Bay, and has gotten two ridiculous touchdown catches from Jones en route to that margin. Here's the first:
And here's the second, which is even better:
Jones has three catches for 71 yards and those two scores, and he still might not be Atlanta's clear offensive MVP so far. That's because Michael Turner has 85 yards and a touchdown of his own, and because the Bucs are so bad — they have now allowed 477 points on the season, a franchise record — that it is impossible to distinguish one great player outclassing a woefully undermanned team from another.
