Ranking the Falcons' five all-time best receiving performances 

ATLANTA –Julio Jones and Roddy White share most of the Falcons' record book when it comes to the various receiving records.

White owns two franchise records: Most passes caught in a career (808) and receiving yards (10,863) earning him a spot in the Falcons' Ring of Honor. White will become the 11th member and will be inducted on Dec. 8 when the Falcons host the Carolina Panthers.

Jones is on pace to eclipse both of White's records and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. In terms of single-season records, Jones owns the records for most passes caught in a season (135 in 2015) and receiving yards (1,871 in 2015).

Let's take a closer look at some of the top receiving performances from Jones and White through the years:

1.    Oct. 2, 2016 (Julio Jones, 300 yards)

The Panthers had no answer for Jones and Matt Ryan in the 48-33 win over their division rival. Jones' 300 receiving yards set a franchise record as did Ryan's 503 passing yards. Jones couldn't be stopped from the beginning of the game when he caught three straight passes from Ryan on the opening drive for a total of 51 yards. The Pro Bowl wide receiver caught 12 passes on the day.
