Bold Predictions: Atlanta Falcons v. Denver Broncos

No Fly Zone: Hold Julio Jones Under 60 Yards

Aqib Talib had quite the welcome back to Tampa, intercepting Jameis Winston twice. One of such picks almost went for a pick-six. Talib now faces Julio Jones, who is coming off a 300-yard receiving performance at home against the Carolina Panthers. Chris Harris, at times will cover Jones in different pass defense situations, but Talib is to be glued on Jones for the entire game.

Jones is a physical threat from the wide receiving position and is a bigger threat than Mike Evans from the Buccaneers. Talib and the rest of the secondary answered the bell from the Denver coaches and held Evans to under 70-yards. This coming week, the No Fly Zone will hold Jones under 60-yards with hardly any yards after the catch. Playing at home will benefit from the crowd noise, which always benefit the Broncos defense every week at home.

194 yards receiving allowed per game by the Broncos No Fly Zone is third in the NFL behind the Ravens and Texans. Jones leads the NFL in receiving yards, but 300 of it came from last week. Talib historically performs well facing the number one receiver following him everywhere on the field. Jones’ encore performance is likely to be compromised against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
