Matt Ryan and Julio Jones were one of the most unstoppable quarterback and wide receiver duos NFL fans have ever seen. The Atlanta Falcons built their offense around QB Matt Ryan and superstar WR Julio Jones, and when they got rolling, not a defense in football could slow them down.

This game is a perfect example. Matt Ryan finished with 503 passing yards and 4 passing touchdowns, setting an Atlanta Falcons franchise record. Julio Jones put up 12 receptions for 300 receiving yards, another ATL Falcons NFL franchise record, while making some of the greatest defensive backs in the NFL look helpless. 300 receiving yards in a single NFL game is crazy. Most elite wide receivers don’t even reach that total over a stretch of three or four football games.

From 2011 through 2020, Matty Ice and Julio were one of the defining quarterback and receiver connections of their generation. They helped lead the Falcons to multiple NFL Playoffs, two NFC Championship Games, and Super Bowl LI, where Atlanta came within one win of capturing the first Lombardi Trophy in franchise history before losing to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the greatest Super Bowl comeback in NFL history.

Julio Jones wasn’t just one of the best receivers of his era, but he was one of the most physically gifted wide receivers football fans have ever seen. At 6 foot 3 inches, over 220 pounds, world class speed, incredible body control, elite hands, and ability to dominate every level of the field, he was a nightmare matchup for NFL cornerbacks every Sunday. Matt Ryan trusted him and Julio Jones rewarded that by becoming the greatest wide receiver in Atlanta Falcons history.

Their resume together is ridiculous, including an NFL MVP, multiple NFL First-Team All-Pro selections, seven 1,400 yard receiving seasons, one of the highest volume passing offenses of the 2010s, and unforgettable moments and highlight reel plays. Looking back now, it’s easy to forget just how terrifying this duo was because they never got to finish the story with a Super Bowl ring. But true sports fans who watched the NFL during the 2010s know the truth.
