Falcons: Matt Ryan

[RFlagg]

Saw this over on ESPN in the comments sections of one of the articles.

Quote:Looking at Matt's stats so far this season, it's amazing to see how much worse he has played against teams coming off a bye. In 3 games against teams coming off a bye (Oakland, Philadelphia, Arizona), Matt's stat line looks like this:

74/115, 812 Yards, 4 TDs, 8 INTs, 67.7 Rating

Compare that to games against teams not coming off a bye:

194/285, 2260 Yards, 16 TDs, 4 INTs, 104.7 Rating

The numbers are even more skewed when you consider Atlanta was coming off a bye as well against Philadelphia. If you remove that game and only consider Oakland and Arizona, Matt's stat line is

52/86, 550 Yards, 1 TD, 8 INTs, 44.2 Rating.

So Matt has had 2 bad games this season, and both opponents were coming off a bye and had an extra week to prepare.
