There’s no more power running game in Atlanta, and Roddy White has been plagued by injuries to the point he’s no longer the dynamic wide receiver he once was. And once Jones was sidelined for the year, the Falcons’ season fell into a tailspin.
With Jones for the first five weeks, Matt Ryan had a 10-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio with a 100.9 passer rating. Without Jones the rest of the year, his ratio was 16:14 with a 83.9 rating. That’s a major difference.
