Matt Ryan threw for 344 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions Thursday night to lead the Atlanta Falcons to a 43-28 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Falcons (6-3) have thus maintained their lead in the NFC South, and avenged a 7-point home loss to the Buccaneers (3-5) in the season opener.
“First game of the year, they played a little better than we did that day,” Ryan said after tossing scoring passes to four different targets. “I felt like we have continued to improve from that time of year. For me, that’s like the best thing from a confidence standpoint — that we continue to get better week in and week out.”
