Author’s Take: “Matt Ryan needs a hug.
Ryan already held the dubious honor of being on the wrong side of the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. Now, after the Colts squandered a 33-0 halftime lead in Minnesota, Ryan is also on the wrong end of the biggest comeback in NFL history.
Believe it or not, it gets worse. In January 2013, Ryan’s Falcons blew the largest lead in NFC Championship Game history. He was also part of the largest blown lead in any game played outside of the U.S. when the Falcons squandered a 21-0 lead in London in 2014.
After the loss, Ryan was worried more about the plays the Colts didn’t make than the historic significance of their collapse.
“I’ve played in this league a long time to know that a lot of different things can happen,” Ryan told reporters. “Anything can happen. You just have to keep your head down and keep going and find ways to make plays when they present themselves. It’s not much. It’s a handful of plays in a game. It’s three or four plays from an offensive perspective that we’ve got to find ways to execute, and it’s a win. We just didn’t make them.”
Given how the season has gone, Ryan’s first year in Indy will probably be his last. Head coach Jeff Saturday’s chances of losing his “interim” tag go down with every loss. This is a team headed for another offseason rebuild after having its sixth different starting quarterback in as many year.”
