Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan won't meet the Lions' Matthew Stafford on the gridiron 'till 2017. Until then, they hook up on the basketball court.

Ryan and Stafford, along with their wives, teamed up to win the Wieuca Baptist Church basketball league in Buckhead.

Ryan (second from right, back row) played basketball in high school. Stafford (far right) and his wife, Kelly (44), met at Georgia and married last spring.

But perhaps it's Ryan's wife, Sarah (wearing No. 1 jersey), who led this team. The former Sarah Marshall was a three-sport star in high school. She was a starting point guard on the Boston College women's basketball team for three seasons, and works with the Atlanta Dream.

Way to crush it Ryans (oh, yeah the Staffords, too). Bring the Tiffany Trophy to Atlanta next.
