Matt Ryan’s bad decisions have been costly
FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan's interceptions in a much simpler offense may cost the team a trip to the playoffs.
Ryan has thrown six interceptions over the past three games.
He has not been the clutch “Matty Ice” in the fourth quarter nor in one-score games this season.
Here's a closer look from Bleacher Report featured columnist Cian Fahey on how Ryan's interceptions have contributed greatly to the Falcons five-game losing streak.
It’s been a string of inexplicable bad decisions by Ryan and not the system design by offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan that is hurting the Falcons.
All five of Ryan’s fourth-quarter interceptions this season have come in one-score games, most in the NFL, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
He also has four red-zone interceptions before last week’s games.
What’s your take on Ryan’s decision-making?
