Only 2 players have missed the playoffs but won the MVP. Matt Ryan and the Falcons currently sit at 4-4; .5 games out of the wild card. While I fully expect us to make the playoffs, Matt Ryan has gotten almost no recognition in the national media for his play. This is the first time I’ve actually written this but Matt Ryan is currently in the top-five of the MVP conversation and the only thing holding him back really is his record.
