CINCINNATI -- Here are some Falcon notes:
--WR Julio Jones finished with a game-high seven receptions for 88 yards with one touchdown. In 11 career games against AFC opponents, Jones has recorded 61 receptions, 949 yards, and seven touchdowns, while averaging 15.5 yards per catch.
--WR Roddy White caught five passes for 42 yards, improving his franchise record streak of consecutive games with at least one catch to 114. He has pulled down at least five receptions in seven straight games dating back to last season.
--QB Matt Ryan and White have combined for 530 completions which is the most between any quarterback and receiver duo in the NFL since 2008.
--WR Devin Hester totaled 118 yards on four kickoff returns, including a 36-yard long return. Hester averaged 29.5 yards per return, which is the highest single-game average by a Falcon since Dec. 5, 2010 when wide receiver Eric Weems averaged 40.8 yards on four returns. Hester’s yards per return average was the fifth highest single-game average of his career in games where he records at least four kickoff returns. Hester is averaging 27.8 yards per return this season which is higher than his career return average of 24.8 yards.
--LB Paul Worrilow paced the defense with a game-high 14 tackles (six solo). Worrliow has recorded double-digit tackles in each of the first two games in 2014 and dating back to 2013, he has accomplished that feat in nine of the last 11 games.
--LB Joplo Bartu added nine tackles (eight solo) while defensive tackle Paul Soliai and free safety Dwight Lowery each chipped in with six total tackles and four solo stops. Soliai also notched a pair of tackles for loss.
