Julio Jones has 300-yard game one week after 1-catch outing

— -- ATLANTA -- Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, held to one catch in his last outing, set a new franchise record by reaching 300 receiving yards in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.

Jones hit exactly 300 on his 12th catch of the game -- a 75-yard, catch-and-run touchdown from Matt Ryan to give the Falcons a 41-26 lead. Jones shattered his own record of 259 yards, set against Green Bay in 2014.

On the same play, quarterback Matt Ryan set the franchise single-game passing mark with 503 yards, breaking his own record of 448 set against the New Orleans Saints in 2014.

Fans started chanting "Julio, Julio,'' with just under four minutes left in regulation.

Jones, who had been battling a calf injury, had just one catch for 16 yards on seven targets in last Monday night's 45-32 win over the New Orleans Saints. Jones had four catches for 94 yards in the first quarter alone Sunday and had seven catches for 170 yards at halftime.

Jones entered Sunday's game with a team-high 188 receiving yards on 10 catches.

Last season, Jones had the second-most receiving yards in NFL history with 1,871 yards on 136 catches. Former Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson holds the record with 1,964 (2012).
