Falcons: Matt Ryan

[AUTiger7222]

Ryan already has 5 games this season with 3 touchdown passes. He had only 5 such games all of last season. I don't know what the Falcons record is for 3 touchdown pass games but I'm guessing it can't be much more than 5 in a season.

Ok. Was just able to do some research. A QB throwing for 3 touchdown passes in a game for the Falcons has happened just 79 times. It's pretty pitiful when you think about it. You're talking about less than 2 such games a season for the history of the Falcons franchise. Matt Ryan has done it 16 times in his career. Steve Bartkowski did it just 17 times in his career. So that's another Falcons passing record Ryan is about to overtake.

The record for most 3 touchdown pass games in a season is 6 by Bartkowski in 1981. How in the world did the Falcons not win more games in 1981 with the year Bartkowski had? That was the best season of his career.
