Six times in their long careers, Tom Brady and Matt Ryan have led their teams against each other and all six times Brady has walked off the field as the victor. That includes five regular season match-ups and that one fateful Super Bowl where Tom and his colleagues found themselves down 28-3 before storming back to win. All those games are in the past, so Ryan is looking to the future.
The Falcons have their work cut out for them if they want to buck this Brady trend. Ryan and his offense struggled in week one’s 32-6 loss to the Eagles as they were held out of the end zone.
The Falcons put two good drives together in the first half but both stalled in the red zone forcing them to settle for field goals. The second half only got worse as Atlanta was shut out in the final two quarters. By the game’s end, Ryan compiled a passer rating of just 71.6, the third lowest of opening week.
The inactives are as follows:
Falcons: Darby (WR), Franks (QB), Gallman (RB), Hall (CB), Cominsky (DL)
Buccaneers: Trask (QB), Dardon (WR), Vaughn (RB), Leverett (G), Davis (DL)
