Against all odds, Matt Ryan shocks the world and make is all the way to the Superbowl. Atlanta Defense sacked and chased New England Tom Brady all over the field. Our defense returned a 82 yard touchdown interception that was the second longest in Superbowl history. Atlanta had built shuck a lead ESPN had calculated at one point in the game Atlanta had a 99 percent chance of winning it.
Then with Atlanta up by 25 points under Matt Ryan made really bad decisions and blunders like no others and makes Superbowl history by allowing New England to come back by the largest margin and win this game in overtime. The first blunder in the second half of the game, Matt Ryan get sacked deep in his own territory and fumble that New England recovers.
At times Matt Ryan will turn into a rookie QB by making dumb mistakes. He had other options, like check down, throw it away, call a timeout and how about audible to a running play.
Then on the next offensive possession Atlanta had a chance to seal there 1st Superbowl after moving down to field goal range but Matt Ryan melted again. Taking a deep sack again and then the offense called for offensive holding on the next play after that. Another rookie mistake from a veteran QB that prescribes to never take a sack to take you out of field goal range.
Matt Ryan poor plays in the fourth quarter helped turn it all around for the Patriots. New England would go a unstoppable march to score several touchdowns and under Matt Ryan guidance Atlanta would not score another point.
Atlanta Falcons during this season offense scored the most points in the NFL. Much of this credit was due to the brilliant calling of offensive coordinator of Kyle Shannahan. In the second half of the game the offense produced just seven points. New England produced over twenty points in the second half.
Another key stat for the Matt Ryan lead offense during the game was Atlanta only converted 12 percent of 3rd down during the game.
This wore down the Atlanta defense who had to stay on the field majority of the game and was wore down because to Matt Ryan blunders. Yet again Matt Ryan choked again and this time it cost us the crown.
Bottom line during this season Matt Ryan had a MVP season but on the biggest stage in sports he turned into the his legacy of choking and doing dumb things in the end the game. The Atalanta Defense played above themselves while Matt Ryan played his true self. He knew it when he went to shake Tom Brady hand at the end of the game with his helmet on his head, he looked liked a little league QB who wanted to stop from crying.
