Matt Ryan was serious.

And everybody knew it.

The Falcons quarterback dropped the F-bomb during Monday night's 24-21 victory over the Buccaneers and television audio caught the expletive loud and clear.

With the Falcons facing a first-and-10 from the 40-yard line with 9:30 remaining, Ryan was not happy with the wide receivers to his right.

“Get F-ing set,” Ryan was heard yelling in the direction of Mohamed Sanu.

The play ended up being a three-yard run by Devonta Freeman. Two plays later, Freeman broke off a 32-yard touchdown run, the winning score, that gave the Falcons a 24-14 lead.

Here is video of the call with, obviously, an explicit language warning.
