Watch Julio Jones’s near-impossible sideline grab
There’s a saying about throwing the ball where only your receiver can catch it.

Fortunately for New England fans, the Patriots were able to stop the Falcons on the drive and even pushed them out of field-goal range, eventually forcing a punt to keep the score 28-20.
