Matt Ryan has only never played in one game during his entire Falcons career. He did not start in Week 12 or 13 of the 2009 season, but he did play in the Week 12 matchup that year, a 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Despite the current1-7 record, Matt Ryan has at least given the Falcons a chance in most of the games that played this season. Of the eight games played this season, the Falcons were down more than two scores at halftime and entering the fourth quarter in the same game just three times.
