The Buffalo Bills face off against the Atlanta Falcons this afternoon in each team’s first game of 2022. For Atlanta, it’s the first time in 17 years that they’ve played in Orchard Park. Their quarterback, Matt Ryan, was a redshirt sophomore at Boston College. Buffalo’s quarterback, Josh Allen, was a fourth-grader in Firebaugh, California.
Now, the 36-year-old Ryan will face off against the 25-year-old Allen in a critical game for both the Bills and the Falcons. For Atlanta, a win keeps their slim playoff hopes alive, but a loss gives them nine defeats on the year—all but eliminating them from playoff contention.
