Matt Ryan surpasses 50,000 passing yards, top 10 in NFL history

Matt Ryan did something no other Falcons quarterback has done in their career, joining only nine quarterbacks that have passed for over 50,000 yards. It marks another historic stat for Ryan, the league’s 2016 MVP. Drew Brees has the most passing yards in NFL history at over 76,000, with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, and John Elway rounding out the top 10.

Ryan has a pretty clear shot to push into the top 5 with a few more healthy seasons.
