1. Week 15 vs. Carolina Panthers: 9 catches, 178 yards, 1 touchdown

In order to beat the then undefeated Carolina Panthers, a total team effort was needed.

One of the main necessities was a standout game from Julio. The elite receiver answered the call as he torched the Panthers defense with 178 yards and a flawless catch over the best linebacker in the game, Luke Kuechly which resulted in a 70 yard touchdown and a Falcons crowd that went bonkers.

Julio has had some games that trumped his stat totals of this game. However, a clear case can be made that this was Julio’s best game of his career with the given circumstances.
