Matt Ryan had one of the greatest losing efforts in NFL history

There were plenty of reasons the Falcons lost their game against the New Orleans Saints. Matt Ryan was not one of them.

Ryan has gone nuts the last two weeks, accounting for nine touchdowns in eight quarters. Against a completely overmatched Saints secondary, Ryan was firing on all cylinders, repeatedly nailing downfield throws to pick up big gains for Calvin Ridley or Julio Jones. It was his best effort through the air all year, and one of the better efforts of his career in a loss.
