JONESIN’ TO STAY HOT

Julio Jones is getting hot, and so are the Atlanta Falcons.

Suddenly, things are looking up for the defending NFC champions.

Jones turned in one of the best games of his career, hauling in 12 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns, and the Falcons won their third in a row Sunday with a 34-20 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After managing only one touchdown catch through the first 10 games, Jones doubled that total in the first half.
