Julio Jones becomes the sixth player in NFL history to record 300 receiving yards in a single game
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Below is a look at some of the highlights from last week by former Crimson Tide players currently in the NFL.
Julio Jones put on record-breaking performance in the Atlanta Falcons' 48-33 win over the Carolina Panthers, finishing with 12 catches for a team-record 300 yards and a touchdown. The All-Pro wideout broke his former franchise mark of 259 yards (2014).Â
Jones became the sixth player in NFL history to record 300 receiving yards in a single game and just the fourth in the Super Bowl era. The last player to post a 300-plus yard receiving game in the NFL was Calvin Johnson in 2013. On the season, Jones leads the league in receiving yards (488) and yards after the catch (197) while ranking fifth in receiving touchdowns (3).
The Los Angeles Rams won their third game of the season, thanks in part to Mark Barron. The linebacker notched a team-high seven tackles in the victory. Barron also notched an interception for the second straight week, making him one of three linebackers with multiple interceptions on the season.
Second-year standout Landon Collins recorded his first double-digit tackles game thus far, finishing with a team-high 10 stops, including one for a loss, in the New York Giants' 24-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Collins currently leads the Giants defense in solo tackles with 25.
C.J. Mosley once again led the Baltimore defense in tackles with nine as the Ravens fell to the Oakland Raiders, 28-27.
A career day was had by Mark Ingram, who continued his steady play, rushing for 56 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries in the New Orleans Saints' 35-34 victory over the San Diego Chargers. Ingram also hauled in six passes for a team-high 49 yards.
Recording his best game of 2016, T.J. Yeldon finished with 14 carries for 71 yards while adding four catches for 46 yards in the Jacksonville Jaguars' 30-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Rashad Johnson posted his best game of the season, recording eight tackles, including one for loss, and a pass breakup as the Tennessee Titans fell to the Houston Texans, 27-20.?
