5. Week 8 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 12 receptions, 162 yards, 1 touchdown

The matchup at home versus Tampa will probably be remembered as the puzzling game after a hard fought win at Tennessee and game one of a season long six game losing streak. However, the game Julio produced was nothing to sleep on.

His 162 yards wound up being his third highest total of the season and Julio also produced his best catch percentage of the season at 92.3 percent or catching 12 out of 13 targets. His eight yard TD reception tied the game to send it to overtime at 20-20.

Jones did most of his damage in this game on the left portion of the field as he racked up seven of his 12 total receptions for 53 yards and his TD. In eight career games against the Bucs, five of them have seen Julio reach the century mark and in three of those Julio has totaled at least 147 reception yards.
