Week 1: Atlanta Falcons 12, Philadelphia Eagles 18

Quarterback Matt Ryan targeted receiver Julio Jones five times over the final 12 plays, connecting three for 63 yards, but ultimately time expired as another incomplete pass fell near his favorite target.

Week 2: vs. Carolina Panthers (1-0), 1:00pm

It will be interesting to see how the Panthers matchup in the secondary with Jones, especially starting rookie cornerback Donte Jackson opposite James Bradberry. Hopefully the quarterback pressure continues or else it could be another long day in Atlanta for Carolina.
