Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has been racking up passing yards this season like it’s his job. (He came into the game with an impressive 4,307 passing yards on the year, the 3rd highest total in the league.) Oh wait, it is his job.
In any case, Ryan achieved something substantial today. On the the very first play of the third quarter, His Iciness threw a pretty, play action, 75 yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley. The TD pass gave him 164 passing yards today and 46,276 passing yards over his illustrious career.
