Jones, who was the NFC’s receiving yards leader in 2014, will enter his third straight Pro Bowl on Jan. 31, 2016 at Aloha Stadium (Honolulu, Ha.). He set Atlanta’s single season receptions mark last week, accounting for 118 catches.
Jones has 1,544 receiving yards with seven touchdowns. The Falcons are 7-7, yet still have hope for a playoff spot providing if either Seattle (9-5) or Minnesota (9-5) drops two games.
