The Atlanta Falcons have stumbled out of the gate to start the 2018 season, dropping three out of their first four games to put the franchise in a tough, precarious position. One of the biggest stories of Atlanta's slow start is wide receiver Julio Jones' inability to get into the end zone, as he is yet to score a single touchdown.

Despite that being the case, Jones has voiced that he is more focused on helping his team get back in the win column, according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.

“It's all about my teammates and being successful, at the end of the day,” Jones said. “I've had a lot of success by myself, but it's not good when you can't go and accomplish things as a team and have success as a team.”

Beyond Jones' end zone issues, the Falcons have struggled to compile victories with them getting the short end of the stick over the last two weeks. Their offense has done more than their part by putting points on the board, but defensive issues have seen opposing teams have their way offensively against Atlanta's stop unit, which is missing a few of its core players.

There hasn't been a lack of production by any means from Jones aside from touchdowns, as he leads the NFL with 502 receiving yards on 29 receptions. This current pace has been him cracking 2,000 receiving yards, which would make him the first player in the league to reach that mark. The emergence of rookie phenom wideout Calvin Ridley, who has notched 15 catches for 264 receiving yards and a league-best six touchdowns over the last three weeks, has helped the Falcons perform in the red zone even when they don't go to Jones.

There are many factors at play here that should open up the door for Jones to eventually get him into the end zone while helping the Falcons get back on track toward reaching the playoffs for the third straight year.
