The Atlanta Falcons breezed to a 40-23 win over the Vikings, and despite the very justified fretting of fans, they were never close to losing this one after they shut down a Vikings fourth down push early in the game up 10-0.
There were many performances worth calling out, ranging from a resurgent Deion Jones to a stellar Julio Jones, but it’s worth calling out a bit of history from Atlanta’s embattled quarterback. After three straight so-so weeks, Matt Ryan put up a performance matched by just three other quarterbacks in NFL regular season history.
Matt Ryan is the fourth player in NFL history to complete 75% of his passes for 350+ yards, 4+ touchdowns and 0 interceptions in multiple games.
