TAMPA, Fla. — There's no letup in Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons.
The NFC South leaders tightened their grip on first place in the division with a 43-28 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Ryan throwing for 344 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions on Thursday night.
The victory avenged a 7-point home loss to Tampa Bay in the season opener. It also reiterated how much the Falcons (6-3) have progressed as a team since the earlier meeting.
"First game of the year, they played a little better than we did that day," Ryan said after tossing scoring passes to four different targets.
