According to Sharp Football Stats, from Week 2 through Week 7, the Atlanta Falcons are passing at the third-highest rate (64 percent) when the margin ranges from trailing by seven points to leading by seven points. In his last five games, he's averaging more than 300 passing yards per game with 12 touchdown passes. As I noted in that article, Ryan has distanced himself from the wretched stench of an ugly Week 1 performance. Matty Ice headlined my value plays piece, which I penned earlier this week.
