Matt Ryan has Falcons hitting on all cylinders against Packers

ATLANTA -- Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons rolled through the first half, scoring on four of their first five possessions to take a 24-0 lead on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.

Ryan tossed his second touchdown pass of the game to close out the half when he connected with Julio Jones for a 5-yard score with 3 seconds remaining.

Ryan scored his first rushing touchdown since 2012 when he found the end zone on a 14-yard scramble in the second quarter.

Ryan showed off the full arsenal in offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan's playbook, throwing the ball all over the field while even going in motion on Wildcat run play by wide receiver Mohamed Sanu.
