Andy BaileyOct 2, 2016

Bortles opened Sunday's slate of Week 4 games with a dual-threat offensive performance that saw him throw for two touchdowns and run for another.

The NFL shared a replay of the quarterback keeper that extended Jacksonville's second-quarter lead:

Earlier in the week, the Cincinnati Bengals defense stifled the Miami Dolphins on the way to a 22-7 win. Bengals receiver A.J. Green provided more than enough offense on his own, scoring his team's lone touchdown and piling up 173 yards.

Notable Week 4 Fantasy Performers

"There was a lot of hype before the season," Bortles said following last week's loss, per ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco. "Now that's gone."

Following Week 4's bounce-back performance, some of the hype surrounding the Jaguars offense may start coming back.

Granted, the 30-point performance came against a Colts defense that has looked, to put it kindly, porous this season. But there were encouraging signs from the Jags.

First, Bortles was able to avoid the kind of slow start that has plagued him for much of his career, as NFL Research noted:

Second, he avoided turnovers. As a rookie, Bortles tossed 17 picks. He led the NFL with 18 interceptions the next season. Any week in which he logs a zero in that column is a personal win.

In case there were any lingering doubts about the Atlanta Falcons offense, the obliteration of the defending NFC champion Carolina Panthers should put them to rest.

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan led the charge, throwing for 503 yards and four touchdowns in a 48-33 win. He became the second player to ever throw for 400-plus yards against the Panthers, per SportsCenter:

He was particularly lethal throwing to Julio Jones, inspiring this declaration from Atlanta Hawks power forward Paul Millsap:

The beatdown moved Atlanta to 3-1 and into firm control of the NFC South.

Julio Jones

As for Jones, well, he did all right. The explosive receiver went for 300 receiving yards and a touchdown. Yes, 300 yards.

ESPN.com's Mike Clay cleared up any understandable confusion:

The NFL shared the play that took him to 300, a 75-yard touchdown reception:

Stopping Ryan and Jones is going to be a nightmare for opponents for the rest of the season.
