Ice Age

When he was first drafted by the Falcons with the #3 overall pick, Matt Ryan was scrutinized about everything from his arm strength to his nickname. But, after just three games in the NFL, he is starting to win over the Atlanta faithful as well as his teammates.

Yesterday, in the Georgia Dome, Matt Ryan showed off his accuracy and arm strength on a 70 yard TD strike to Roddy White. Led by Ryan and RB Michael Turner, Atlanta blew out the hapless Kansas City Chiefs 38-14.

Behind Ryan, the Falcons are off to a 2-1 start which is enough for even the most cynical fan to be cautiously optimistic.
