If you have been watching the Falcons this year, you’ve probably noticed Matt Ryan absorbing quite a few hits behind this offensive line. Sometimes it’s a lineman being cleanly beaten, sometimes it’s a lack of open options creating a long pause opposing pass rushers take advantage of, and at times it’s Ryan holding on too long looking to make something happen. However you slice it, the Falcons are not keeping good company in terms of the number of times their quarterback is getting driven into the turf.
Hell, they’re not keeping any company at all. They’ve allowed more quarterback hits than any other team in the NFL, per an updated weekly count maintained by Johnny Kinsley.
