#3 – vs. Panthers, Week 4

Julio Jones is known to embarrass defenders regularly, but in this game against the Carolina Panthers, he was on another level. Becoming just the sixth receiver to ever tally 300 receiving yards in a single game, Jones had his way with the Carolina defense. Ryan also set a franchise record with 503 passing yards, and Robert Alford snagged a pick six at the end of the game to seal the victory and twist the knife further.

The Panthers were looking for revenge after the Falcons gave them their first loss of the 2015 season, but Atlanta put on an offensive clinic to maintain bragging rights.
