Julio Jones, Grady Jarrett were PFF’s highest-graded Falcons in Week 8

The Falcons played well in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks, but it wouldn’t be enough for the team to overcome a 24-0 first-half deficit.

Wide receiver Julio Jones did his part, though, making ten catches for 152 yards. On the other side of the ball. defensive tackle Grady Jarrett broke the team’s month-long sack drought.

Pro Football Focus gave Jones and Jarrett the highest grades for the Falcons in Week 8.

Jones leads the team with 712 receiving yards through eight games this season. He earned an 83.8 PFF grade, the highest of any Falcons player.

Jarrett, who has a team-leading three sacks, earned an 83.0 PFF grade for his performance on Sunday.

This season has gone off the rails for a number of reasons, but Jones and Jarrett have certainly not been the problem.
