A number of key NFL contests went down over Christmas weekend, but it was a stealthy MVP candidate that delivered his team to a potential first round bye. Matt Ryan had a very crisp and clean performance in dismantling the favored Carolina Panthers in Charlotte to put the final dagger in their playoff hopes, while positioning the Falcons (with a surprising Seahawks loss) for they key bye. Overall, Ryan was 27/33 for 277 yards and 3 TD. His 27 throws targeted 10 different receivers which kept the Panthers defense off balance. He's the only QB in the NFL to rate in the top 3 of passing yards, passing TD, and QB rating. His 7 INT are among the lowest for regular QB as well. The Falcons are a dark horse team to unseat the seemingly invincible Dallas Cowboys and if they do, it will be because Matt Ryan slays them. He is our Sportsman of the Week!
This is Matt Ryan's
second nod as Sportsman of the Week (9/7/2014)
