Matt Ryan still has ice in his veins
Matt Ryan led the Atlanta Falcons on a game-winning drive for the 38th time in his career. Ryan is now tied with Drew Brees at 38 since 2008, best in the league. 29 of which are fourth-quarter comebacks.
There is a reason why fans and experts still refer to Matt Ryan as “Matty Ice”. Ryan’s nickname started while in High School due to his ability to remain cool and calm when it mattered the most.
For many Falcons fans, Matt Ryan became “Matty Ice” during his rookie season in 2008 against the Chicago Bears at home. The Bears scored a touchdown in the final moments to take the lead 20-19. This gave Ryan and the Falcons:06 left in the game down by one.
