Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, again, accepted responsibility for the pick-two interception that he tossed to Eric Berry on Tuesday.
Former Falcons wide receiver Brian Finneran asked Ryan about the play on his weekly show on 680 The Fan. Ryan admitted to peeking at Eric Berry and perhaps tipping of the play. The Chiefs defeated the Falcons 29-28 on Sunday.
“It’s a concept that everybody uses across the league,” Ryan said. “You have a shallow cross coming the right side and a dagger or in-cut, whatever you want to call it, in-line, coming back into your vision on the left side.
“So, Al (Aldrick Robinson) got an outside release…I made the mistake. I kind of peeked at Eric Berry from the start. Right away he looked outside and goes to double-team (Austin Hooper) and that’s where I took my eyes off of him. It’s a lesson for me. You’ve got to keep your eyes in the right spot for the entire portion of the play. I kind of moved on a little too fast.”
