The Falcons have gotten off to another slow start, and Matt Ryan continues to be more generous than we’re accustomed to seeing.
The Falcons quarterback has already thrown an interception — his sixth of the year — and the Falcons trail the Colts 13-0.
Ryan’s never thrown more than 17 interceptions in an NFL season, and he’s on pace to get there by midseason. That kind of uncharacteristically sloppy play is part of a broader struggle.
The Falcons fell behind the Vikings 21-0 in the first half of the opener, and those slow starts create a cascading set of problems.
Meanwhile, Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett is dealing, completing his first 16 passes, and he already has 178 yards and a touchdown midway through the second quarter.
