If Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan passes for more than 200 yards against the Chargers on Sunday, he’ll set a new NFL record for 46 straight games eclipsing that mark.

Ryan and Fouts are currently tied with 45 games.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has an active streak of 40 games before Sunday’s action.
