FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Matt Ryan heard the question that was asked -- a reference to the Atlanta Falcons' meltdown in Super Bowl LI to the New England Patriots -- and cracked a joke before it was even completed.
"I haven't," Ryan deadpanned. "I never heard of it."
Ryan, of course, knew the reference. The Falcons were up on New England -- and their quarterback, Tom Brady -- 28-3 during Super Bowl LI, before ultimately losing 34-28.
The 36-year-old Ryan -- who said Wednesday he would be open to playing as long as Brady has -- is 0-5 lifetime against Brady, between his time with New England and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
