5 Things to Know From Falcons' Win Over Panthers


Ryan Dominates: It would’ve been hard to script a better start for Matt Ryan. For the first time in his career, the veteran signal caller completed 10 straight passes to begin the contest, tallying 112 yards in that span. His first incompletion didn’t occur until 10:14 was left in the second frame, and his first touchdown, a 26-yard throw to Joshua Perkins, was his 33rdTD pass of 2016, which set a new franchise record for touchdown throws in a single season.

In total, Ryan completed 27 of 33 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions – good for a 121.
