Super Bowl Bound

Falcons and Patriots tangle in the NFL Finale

Matt Ryan has emerged as the most prolific quarterback in the NFL this season and has looked more like Tom Brady of old than Tom Brady does this season.  There is a reason for that, actually.  You see, Ryan studied Tom Brady and other high scoring NFL quarterbacks.

I decided I would spend the early part of the off-season studying the high-scoring offenses in the NFL that had personnel similar to ours here in Atlanta. – Matt Ryan

Packers come calling on Falcons for NFC Title

Falcons take out Seahawks/Packers take out Cowboys

The Atlanta Falcons (12-5) defeated the Seattle Seahawks (11-6-1) on Saturday to move on to the NFC title round with the Green Bay Packers (12-6) after they defeated the Dallas Cowboys (13-4) the following day.  Tickets for the next round will go fast.

Matt Ryan completed the game and the victory with a nine play/99 yard drive that took nearly three minutes that put the Falcons up by nine.  They never looked back after that.

“That drive was a synopsis of what we did all day,” QB Matt Ryan said. “We executed really well.”

They will need to keep that execution in check as they take on the Green Bay Packers Sunday evening.

“It’s a ton of fun,” tight end Levine Toilolo said. “There’s guys all over this offense that can make plays. It doesn’t fall on one guy. Receivers, tight ends, running backs, the guys up front, Matt … that’s what’s hard to defend.”

The Packers best be prepared.

Great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to grab yours today and help cheer on your Falcons to Victory!
