Message to all those other NFL defenses: Cover Julio Jones.The Falcons receiver caught 12 passes for 300 yards -- becoming the sixth player in NFL history to hit the 300-yard mark in receiving to lift Atlanta to a 48-33 victory over Carolina on Sunday.Matt Ryan had 503 yards passing for Atlanta and the quarterback and receiver became the first teammates to reach 500 and 300 in the same game .We tried to cover him, said Panthers coach Ron Rivera. We thought we had a good plan coming in.That plan involved sticking rookie cornerback James Bradberry, among others, in single coverage on Jones for most of the game. Ryan and Jones saw it quickly, and capitalized all day.Jones said he was surprised at the strategy, especially because the Panthers play the Falcons twice every year as members of the NFC South. Jones had 1,871 yards receiving last year -- the second-biggest season total in league history.They put the young corner on me man to man ... and Matt made some great decisions today, Jones said.In case you missed it, here are other notable topics after the NFL seasons fourth Sunday:PAGING MR. BRADY: For the first three weeks, the Patriots could do no wrong, even without Tom Brady, and then without his backup Jimmy Garoppolo. It all came crashing down against the Bills. Led by its third-string quarterback, rookie Jacoby Brissett, New England suffered its first home shutout since 1993 -- a 16-0 loss. Nothing was good enough, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. At any position, at any phase of the game. It just wasnt good enough. Maybe next week, it will get better. Bradys four-game Deflategate suspension ended at midnight, and hell be eligible when the Patriots travel to Cleveland.PAGING MR. LYNCH: On a day when the importance of the backup quarterback came into sharp focus, the Broncos found out they may have a good one. First-round draft pick Paxton Lynch entered Denvers game against Tampa Bay after starter Trevor Siemian got slammed to the turf and endured an injury to his left shoulder late in the first half. Lynch went 14 for 24 for 170 yards and his first career touchdown pass to help the Broncos pull away for a 27-7 victory. I remember him coming in the huddle and telling me, `I got to go at it, I want to throw a touchdown pass, said receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who caught the TD. Thats the first of many.CONCUSSIONS: Quarterbacks Cam Newton and Carson Palmer each left their games in the fourth quarter with concussions. Newton, who endured multiple hits to the head in the season-opener against Denver but remained in that game, got hit by Falcons linebacker Deion Jones and exited. Palmers head hit the turf on a sack by Aaron Donald of the Rams. The Cardinals lost 17-13.GOING THE DISTANCE: The Jacksonville Jaguars headed across the Atlantic Ocean to get their first victory of the season. Playing in London -- their home away from home -- the Jaguars got out to a 17-6 lead and held on for a 30-27 victory over the Colts, whose three fourth-quarter touchdowns werent enough. The Colts were a popular pick to make the Super Bowl this season. Instead, theyre 1/3 and have given up the second-most points (125) in the league at the quarter mark. (Were) tired of almosts, said Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. We want to win. Its a winning culture and the Colts expect wins, and it doesnt just happen when you trot out onto the field.OH, THE FINAL SCORE: For those of you who turned off the Sunday night game -- and who could blame you? -- the final score: Pittsburgh 43, Kansas City 14. The Steelers were ahead 22-0 after a quarter and things never got closer. Fantasy watch: Ben Roethlisberger had an even 300 yards and five TDs; LeVeon Bell had 178 yards total offense but didnt score. Those who bailed did miss some entertaining Al Michaels reminisces about Vin Scully, Keith Jackson and Dick Enberg -- among others -- along with the pronouncement that Michaels does best: If you ever had a doubt, you know now, it is over, he said when the Steelers made it 43-7 in the fourth quarter to surpass the over-under total in Vegas of 48.

MADISON, Wis. -- Corey Clement is proving he can carry a full workload for No. 10 Wisconsin.The passing game is starting to round into form, too, which might turn into a key development if Clements ankle injury becomes a nagging issue.Clement ran for two scores before rolling his left ankle on his last carry, and Wisconsin stuffed Akrons spread offense in a 54-10 win on Saturday.The Badgers (2-0) didnt slack off in their 2016 debut at Camp Randall Stadium, a week after outmuscling SEC power LSU 16-14 in the season opener.We want to do that every week no matter (where) were ranked, Clement said. We have to approach every game as if were not in the rankings at all.Bart Houston was 15 of 22 for 231 yards, showing chemistry with Jazz Peavy against the porous Zips (1-1). Peavy finished with seven catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns.Wisconsin had 294 yards rushing and 292 yards through the air. It was its first game with more than 290 in each category since at least 1996.On defense, Wisconsin had a safety, and the secondary accounted for two second-quarter turnovers. The Badgers led 30-10 at halftime.We had a plan and it would have taken a few other things for us being able to do, Akron coach Terry Bowden said. But they were dominant enough in the trenches on both sides of the ball and we couldnt quite get it done.Clements injury was one of the only blemishes for Wisconsin. The senior rushed for 111 yards on 21 carries before departing late in the second quarter.Clement said he could have returned if he was needed.We were able to be a little overprotective maybe, Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said.Akrons only touchdown came on JoJo Natsons 55-yard punt return in the second.THE TAKEAWAYAKRON: The Zips had a few moments, dictating tempo for parts of a couple drives in the second quarter with their fast-paced offense. But any momentum was negated by mistakes. Most notably, Akron drove from its own 11 to the 30 on four straight rushes by Warren Ball before the running back fumbled on third-and-2 on what would have been a 38-yard gain. Wisconsin scored nine plays later to go up 23-0.At best, it was a learning experiennce against the bigger, quicker Badgers.dddddddddddd With 15 new starters this season, Akron hopes to contend in the East Division of the Mid-American Conference.Our offense couldnt keep their offense off the field and our defense couldnt keep them off the field, Bowden said.WISCONSIN: Clement tested his ankle on the sideline after getting it wrapped, but never returned. Then again, the Badgers were well on their way to a victory by then.It really didnt feel like 21 carries at all, Clement said. I felt like I could have gone for 41 if I had played the whole game.Otherwise, the Badgers followed through on their collective promise to build on the momentum of the win over LSU at Lambeau Field. Houston, making his second career start, shook off a couple questionable throws for near picks to show off his strong arm. Backups got valuable playing time late in the game, including freshman Bradrick Shaw. The running back had nine carries for 74 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown run.POLL IMPLICATIONSWisconsin could move up in the next AP Top 25 poll on Sunday with No. 9 Georgia escaping with a 26-24 victory over Nicholls State. Chrysts team looked prepared and routed its mid-major opponent, as is usually expected for a Big Ten team.SPECIAL RETURNNatsons punt return for a score, the first for Akron since 2004, was one of the Zips few bright spots.It gave us a little momentum but it was a tough game for our offense and defense, Natson said.QUOTABLEI think anybody in the secondary would tell you that our play is a product of the great front seven we have ... We really just kind of reap the benefits. -- Wisconsin safety Leo Musso, who had an interception against Akron.UP NEXTAkron: The Zips stay on the road to face Marshall on Sept. 17.Wisconsin: The Badgers look to extend their home winning streak against non-conference foes to 37 when they host Georgia State on Sept. 17.---Online: AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
