The Atlanta Falcons came up short Sunday, falling 43-37 in overtime to the New Orleans Saints.
Who’s up and who’s down in the loss?
Up
Ryan was masterful against the Saints. He threw for 374 yards, a career-high five touchdowns, and no interceptions on 27 of 35 passing. Unfortunately, it still wasn’t enough. His 148.1 passer rating was the highest rating a quarterback has posted in a loss. Would you expect differently from the Falcons?
The rookie didn’t have a catch in Week 1’s matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles and suddenly he’s catching three touchdowns in a single game.
