From Week 3 to Week 9, a span of six games, Matt Ryan tossed 13 touchdowns against three interceptions, and the Falcons went 4-2. Nothing about that stretch was perfect, mind you, but the offense was good enough to win games and did so, led by a pretty useful passing attack.
The past two weeks have seen Ryan toss four picks and zero touchdowns as all offensive production has ground to a halt, leading to two of the most embarrassing performances you’ll see back-to-back from these Falcons. Just like that 4-2 stretch can’t all be put on Ryan’s shoulders—Cordarrelle Patterson’s yards after the catch ability fueled at least one win in there—this 0-2 stretch can’t all be laid at his feet.
