Odell Beckham Jr. partied aboard a Miami boat, then dropped the New York Giants right out of the playoffs. Antonio Brown pointed the cameras at himself with a locker room Facebook Live video, while the Pittsburgh Steelers exited meekly. Julio Jones didn’t make a peep, then silenced any doubters with nine receptions for 180 yards and two touchdowns on a bum toe in the NFC championship game.

The three superstar wide receivers are often mentioned in the same breath. Debates rage over which is the best in football, with arguments over who has the best hands, speed or strength. Only one, though, is still standing as the final game of the 2016-17 NFL season approaches.

Jones is fueling an Atlanta Falcons offense that has bullied its way to the Super Bowl, pounding opposing defenses to the tune of 39 points per game during its current six-game winning streak. Jones’ legal name is Quintorris, meaning “Gladiator.” It’s a fitting description of a man who has no equal in the open field. Jones is bigger and stronger than most defensive backs, but he can also leap higher and outrun anyone. He’s producing at a level unseen in football history, delivering four straight seasons with at least 100 yards per game. No other wideout has had more than three…in their entire career.

Yet, it’s surprising to even see Jones on this stage. His professional career started with a draft-day blockbuster that sent away two first-round picks and three others for the right to draft the former University of Alabama receiver. That’s the type of deal teams make for a surefire franchise quarterback but rarely for a receiver.

That’s because wide receivers, no matter how good, just don’t carry teams to championships. If you look back at the teams that have won the Super Bowl, it’s obvious that the common thread is a stud quarterback. Jones, on the other hand, would be the first wideout to average 100 yards per game and win the Super Bowl since Michael Irvin did it with the Dallas Cowboys 21 years ago.

It helps that Atlanta’s quarterback, Matt Ryan, has taken his game to a whole new echelon this season. The likely MVP has vaulted his way into the group of no-doubt elite quarterbacks, reaching career-bests in nearly every major category: yards (4,944), touchdowns (38), interceptions (seven), completion percentage (69.9) and yards per attempt (9.3). He’s been on fire since Week 14, averaging 310 yards over the six games with a 72.8 completion percentage and 19 sixes to zero picks.

Still, these birds fly under the radar. They’re tied for the seventh-most points scored in NFL history, yet most fans didn’t realize how good they were until the playoffs began. Part of that is because the Falcons didn’t win a ton of games—11, a great season, but hardly noteworthy. Atlanta also doesn’t have a brand like the 18-0 New England Patriots or Peyton Manning’s record-setting Denver Broncos, but their offense, at least, is in the same class.

But that may be a kiss of death. Of the top 11 scoring teams in history prior to these Falcons, 10 failed to win the Super Bowl. What’s even more notable is how they departed. Those 10 squads averaged a collective 34.4 points per game in the regular season, a number that dropped down to 18.3 points in their playoff losses. The five that lost immediately following a week off? Those teams averaged just 16 points going out, with none scoring more than 21. The Patriots are the Falcons’ opponent this Sunday and are also well-aware of those stats; in the last decade, New England has contributed four of the 10 highest-scoring nonchampionship teams. This time, they’ll be looking to turn the tables and prevent these Falcons from taking the title of highest-scoring champs ever.

Plus, unlike the Falcons’ first two playoff opponents—the Seattle Seahawks (missing Earl Thomas) and the Green Bay Packers (depleted secondary)—the Patriots possess a secondary (Malcolm Butler, Patrick Chung, Devin McCourty and Logan Ryan) capable of shutting down Atlanta’s passing game. I expect them to contain Jones and force Ryan to beat them with his other weapons, which he has been able to thus far this postseason.

The trick to winning on Sunday is simple: Atlanta has to march down the field on its first possession and score a touchdown. Atlanta’s offense is a machine, unstoppable when it gains momentum, but it must get rolling early to control the rhythm of the game. Ryan and the Falcons must continue to methodically eat up six to 10 yards per play, driving down the field while keeping Tom Brady off it. If they can do that, Atlanta just might pull off the unprecedented.
