The Atlanta Falcons' 48-33 win over the Carolina Panthers was highlighted by record-setting performances by both Julio Jones and Matt Ryan.
Jones caught 12 passes for a franchise-record 300 yards -- including a 75-yard touchdown -- coming off a one-catch game against the New Orleans Saints. And Ryan threw for a franchise-record 503 yards, completing 28-of-37 passes with four touchdowns. It was the first time there has been a 500-yard passer and 300-yard receiver in the same game in NFL history.
Barring a Ryan-like performance by Eli Manning on Monday night, Ryan will enter Week 5 with a league-high 1,473 passing yards to go with an NFL-best 126.3 passer rating. He has completed 101-of-140 passes with 11 touchdowns and two interceptions.
And Jones now leads the league with 488 receiving yards, six ahead of Detroit's Marvin Jones. Minnesota's Stefon Diggs has 325 going into his team's Monday night matchup with the New York Giants.
Here's a closer look at the record-setting performances by Jones and Ryan, courtesy of ESPN Stats & Information:
Jones is the sixth player in NFL history with 300 yards receiving in a game, joining Flipper Anderson (336), Calvin Johnson (329), Stephone Paige (309), Jim Benton (303), and Cloyce Box (302).
Jones gained 120 yards after the catch Sunday, the second most in a game in his career. He gained 64 yards after the catch in his touchdown catch-and-run, including 60 yards after contact. He had never gained more than 44 yards after contact in his career.
Ryan was 12-of-14 for 300 yards with five 20-plus yard completions and a touchdown when targeting Jones. Ryan was 16-of-22 for 203 yards with two completion of 20-plus yards when targeting his other nine receivers with three touchdowns and one pick-six.
Ryan completed 14-of-16 passes for 415 yards and three touchdowns on passes longer than 10 yards downfield. That is the most yards on such passes in a game in the last 10 seasons, surpassing Cam Newton's 348 yards on those throws in 2011. Jones had seven receptions on those throws by Ryan for 258 yards and a touchdown.
Ryan also completed three passes that traveled more than 30 yards downfield, the first time in which he had three such completions.
Ryan was 10-of-13 passing with a touchdown against five or more pass-rushers, averaging 16.5 yards per attempt in those situations. That is the third-highest yards per attempt allowed by the Panthers since 2011 when Ron Rivera took over as the head coach.
Ryan targeted Jones in his first three attempts. Of Ryan’s 20 first-down attempts, Jones was the target on eight of them. Jones' eight first-down targets were tied for the third most in his career and only two fewer than his total in the first three games of the season.
