ATLANTA — Matt Ryan and Sam Darnold both appear ready for the regular season.
Ryan looked sharp in his preseason debut for the Atlanta Falcons, completing nine straight passes, and Darnold led the Jets on another scoring drive in his team’s 22-10 victory Thursday night.
After sitting out the first two exhibition games, Ryan played most of the first half on Thursday. He completed 10 of 14 passes for 118 yards, a performance that was even more impressive considering that Brian Hill and Justin Hardy dropped back-to-back passes in the back of the end zone that could have been touchdowns, drawing boos from the meager crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
