In a story all too familiar for Matt Ryan, the Falcons lost despite a wonderful performance from him. Ryan completed 75% of his throws for 374 yards and 5 touchdowns (career high) and a rating of 148.1.
Matt Ryan just put up the highest passer rating (148.1) in a loss in NFL history (min. 25 attempts).

Matt Ryan holds the two highest passer ratings ever in a loss. In this game and the Super Bowl, Ryan posted passer ratings higher than 144 but his defense let him down and he lost.
