Matt Ryan has not had enough easy wins in his career, to put it mildly. This Falcons team has tended to disappoint or surprise with a last second win, and on Sunday against the Dolphins, they did the latter again. Atlanta drove downfield and gave Younghoe Koo a short field goal attempt he inevitably converted.
That gave Ryan and company a crucial win that brought this team to .500, but it also gave the Falcons quarterback his 40th game winning drive. That ties him with John Elway for the seventh-most in NFL history, and gave Ryan another game where a generally great day ended up outweighing a small handful of costly mistakes, namely a fumble that gave the Dolphins a shot at the lead and an interception earlier in the effort.
