Matt Ryan rallies Atlanta Falcons, comeback to beat Giants 24-20

Somehow, someway, the Atlanta Falcons came from behind to defeat the New York Giants. The Falcons improve to 2-0 and the Giants drop to 0-2.

In what seemed like a runaway victory for New York in the second half; they led 20-10 and had the football on the Atlanta 8-yard line. As Eli Manning looked for a pass, Kroy Biermann came from behind to make a huge play, stripping the ball which was recovered by Paul Soliai.

The Falcons take over. A long drive of 12 plays and 91-yards resulted in a Leonard Hankerson touchdown, and the game was back on.
