The Atlanta Falcons' 48-33 win over the reigning NFC champs on Sunday had plenty of offensive fireworks, but two players stood above the rest. Matt Ryan's 503 passing yards and four TDs were impressive but what was even more impressive is that Julio Jones was responsible for 300 of them.

Jones' 12-catch day came 37 yards short of setting an NFL record for most receiving yards in a game with his 300 being the sixth-best game in league history. Willie "Flipper" Anderson set the mark with 336 in a game against the Saints back in 1989.

Not a bad day ... especially for a guy who hasn't signed a heavy amount of autographs in his six years as a pro.

There's no formal record book, but Honus Wagner and LeBron James are helping write it.

A pair of sports cards set sales records Saturday night in a Goldin Auctions event -- a PSA 5 (MC) copy of Wagner's iconic T206 baseball card and a modern-day Upper Deck creation from King James' rookie year also graded and slabbed by PSA.

"The demand for rare, high-grade vintage cards has exploded so we were confident that there would be some eye-popping results and new record prices established," said Ken Goldin, the founder of Goldin Auctions. "Every time one of these rare collectibles is offered for auction, serious collectors realize that it may be the last time for a long time. The booming market for high-grade rare trading cards, coupled with the limited supply, created the perfect storm for these remarkable prices."
