Saints Burn Falcons on Twitter Over Michael Thomas-Julio Jones Debate

The league-wide debate surrounding the wide receiver position has gotten really interesting in recent years. Now that Antonio Brown has vacated the top spot, most seem to believe either Michael Thomas or Julio Jones are currently the best wideouts in the league.

Given that both play in the NFC South, that has obviously led to some spirited arguments between fans. That has even translated to both team's Twitter accounts, where the New Orleans Saints landed a pretty devastating blow on the Atlanta Falcons.

The team was obviously replying to these tweets from the Falcons Twitter account, as Atlanta apparently felt slighted by Julio's "Madden 21" rating.

Coach Saban, what do you think about Julio’s 97 Madden rating? pic.twitter.com/Pw16iVjzPi

Hopefully these two can keep this back and forth going throughout the offseason.
