We may never see a better first half of football than what the Atlanta Falcons put on display Sunday. The Falcons wear near-flawless on offense and gave the Georgia Dome a regular season send-off for the ages. Atlanta moves to 11-5 for the season, 5-1 vs division opponents, and clinches the NFC’s #2 seed in the playoffs.
Matt Ryan completed his MVP campaign with 27 completions for 331 yards and four touchdowns. The Georgia Dome erupted in “MVP” chants about the time Ryan threw for his third touchdown of the game. Such chants are more than warranted as the Falcons’ quarterback finished the regular season with a league-leading 38 touchdown passes.
