MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Matt Ryan has won an NFL MVP award, been named Offensive Rookie of the Year and risen to seventh in the league in all-time passing yards over a standout 15-season career.
Ryan also came out on the wrong side of history for a second time in Indianapolis’ 39-36 loss at Minnesota on Saturday. The 37-year-old quarterback couldn’t help the Colts stop the Vikings in what became the biggest comeback in NFL history - rallying from a 33-point halftime deficit.
Ryan was also on the losing side of the biggest blown lead in Super Bowl history, a 28-3 advantage for his Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 51 that ended in a 34-28 loss to the New England Patriots.
