The catch marked his 10,000th receiving yard in 104 games, a new NFL record previously held by Calvin Johnson, who reached the milestone in 115 games, while Torry Holt and Antonio Brown reeled in 10,000 yards in 116 games.
Jones was drafted by the Falcons as the sixth overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and has been a force for the team since.
The Falcons would go on to lose by a score of 28-16. Jones scored the only touchdown of the game for Atlanta as it dropped to 4-5.
