LANDOVER, Md. — For Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, it will always be difficult to top his 2016 season, when he was named the NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year. The Falcons went to the Super Bowl, losing a heartbreaker to the New England Patriots.
Yet this year, his 11th in the NFL, the Penn Charter graduate and Exton native is approaching the best he has ever played. And that is saying something.
Not only did the Falcons drop this year's opener, but they also lost four of their first five and the season appeared to be slipping way.
