James Bradberry did his job against Julio Jones again – keeping the Falcons’ superstar receiver in check. (Jones was being defended by Luke Kuechly on his only big play). Unfortunately, Jackson could not contain Ridley in coverage at all. Ridley roasted Jackson on several deep routes, racking up eight catches for 143 yards and a touchdown. It’s fair to wonder if Jackson wasn’t 100% recovered from his hip injury, which may have been a factor.
