Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones was pleased with the offensive attack against the Cleveland Browns.
“It was good,” Jones said after the 24-13 victory over the Browns on Thursday at FirstEnergy Stadium. “The hard work and preparation is paying off. Like I said before, we are not game-planning, but we can go out here execute, score touchdowns without game-planning for people and going after their weaknesses, it shows a lot.”
Jones had a key play in the team’s first series, a 9-play 71-yard touchdown drive. On third-and-1 from Cleveland’s 48, Jones shook free for a 20-yard gain.
Three plays later, running back Devonta Freeman skipped into the end zone from 19 yards out.
Jones was done for the game, but he watches as wide receiver Mohamed Sanu hauled down three passes for 45 yards and ran with authority.
“He’s definitely a physical guy,” Jones said. “He doesn’t shy away from contact. He’s aggressive and he’s got great speed, a lot of power and he showed it tonight.”
Jones is looking forward to playing more in the third exhibition game against Miami in Orlando on Thursday.
“We have to keep building,” Jones said. “We have to take from this game. We have some corrections that we have to clean up. But other that than, we just have to keep moving forward. Just working off each other and feeding off of each other.”
