Julio Jones was injured on his first reception for 27 yards against the Carolina Panthers. The result was devastating. The Falcons were unable to move the ball and had numerous turnovers. Despite holding the Panthers to a FG after a 1st and goal on the 1 yard line, the Falcons next three possessions were punt, fumble, and int. The end result was a 30-3 blowout. 

The Falcons need to win 2 of their next 3 against Jacksonville, Carolina, and New Orleans without Julio Jones. With Julio Atlanta was among the worst offenses in the league. In his absence, they could easily finish 7-9 giving the once 0-7 Panthers a miraculous playoff birth if they can win out.
