Cox/Getty ImagesLast offseason, I wrote a series of Throwback Thursday articles looking back at some of the most memorable moments in Atlanta Falcons history. That series culminated with an article looking back at the time newly minted general manager Thomas Dimitroff drafted Matt Ryan with the third overall pick. Here’s how that specific article concluded:Well, that time has come — welcome to the “Matty Ice Moments” series. This will be a series of articles dedicated to looking back on Matt Ryan-centric moments, in an attempt to help distract us from the dead period a little bit.And if you don’t like Matt Ryan and think that we’re focusing on him too much this offseason, then that’s just too bad, I guess.You can find last week’s article in this series, looking back on Ryan becoming the franchise’s all-time passing yards leader, here.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="Zzpicr">The 200-yard streakOn November 10, 2013 the Atlanta Falcons lost their seventh game of the season, against the Seattle Seahawks, and dropped to 2-7 in the midst of what would end up being a disappointing 4-12 campaign. In that game, Matt Ryan threw for 172 passing yards. Unbeknownst to everybody, something special would begin the very next week — something which would culminate over the course of four full years.Ryan threw for 254 passing yards in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and then he threw for over 200 passing yards again the week after, and again the week after that, and again throughout the rest of the 2013 season.Then, in 2014, despite a second straight disappointing season where the Falcons missed the playoffs, Ryan managed to throw for at least 200 passing yards in every single game, bringing his streak to 23 consecutive such games.When he repeated that same feat throughout the 2015 season, people finally began to take notice and realize that they may be watching some history in the making. At the end of 2015, the streak had reached 39 consecutive games — just six shy of Dan Fouts’ record 45 straight games with at least 200 passing yards.The 2016 season treated the Falcons well, even though it ended in the worst possible way. One of the underlying storylines from the beginning part of that season was the Matt Ryan record watch. He tied Fouts’ record in Week 6 against the Seahawks — the last team he had failed to reach the 200-yard plateau against all those years ago. A week later, he connected with Julio Jones on a 21-yard completion in the fourth quarter to propel him over to 200 passing yards against the San Diego Chargers, and into first place all by himself on the consecutive 200-yard leaderboard. He broke Fouts’ record against Fouts’ former team.The streak would continue throughout the rest of 2016 and into the 2017 season as well. The mark had reached an astounding 64 consecutive games when the Falcons went into a Week 11 Monday Night Football matchup against the Seahawks.Almost exactly four years to the date of the streak’s incarnation, Ryan failed to throw for 200 passing yards — the Falcons won Youth De’Vondre Campbell Jersey , but number 2 had thrown for 195 yards.The 200-yard passing streak ended against the last team that had held successfully held Ryan below that yardage total, 64 games ago (Seattle).Ryan, being the ultimate team player that he is, didn’t express a lick of concern that it ended, instead focusing specifically on the team victory. “I’d rather have less than 200 yards and win than to get 200 yards and lose,” Ryan said, following the game.It truly is a testament to consistency that Ryan was able to go 64 consecutive games with at least 200 passing yards. So many times, a QB has an off game where he fails to reach that mark, or even is the victim of circumstance where he doesn’t have to attain that figure to win (this is what happened to Ryan against the Seahawks).Ryan had also played in all 64 of those games consecutively. It’s a great feat of durability as well. Ryan is currently fourth in the NFL among active players with 147 consecutive games played — starting every game since suffering a turf toe injury in 2009.Ryan is currently the all-time NFL record holder in consecutive games with at least 200 passing yards. Given the nature of that record — the fact that it takes just one unfortunate game to lose all of one’s progress — we could see that record stand for a long time. The Falcons made seven picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, but there are a lot of quality players that weren’t drafted.

Here are the top UDFA names to watch for Atlanta.EDTShareTweetShareShareTop UDFA targets for the FalconsDale Zanine-USA TODAY SportsThe Falcons walked away from the 2019 NFL Draft with seven total picks. Atlanta addressed many positions of need, but notably, not all positions of need. For help with those, the Falcons will turn to the undrafted free agent class (or UDFA, for short). Every year, teams unearth a few diamonds in the rough—and Atlanta has been particularly good at getting quality contributors from the ranks of the undrafted.Here are some of the top names that will be entering the UDFA market. Keep in mind these players can come and go pretty quickly—just because you’ve heard someone is signing somewhere, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true until the team announces it. Scouting notes from my prospect previews or scouting reports are embedded where applicable. Enjoy!DEFENSEEDGEThe Falcons added John Cominsky with their second fourth-round pick, but they could potentially add more depth for camp competition. This position was pretty well drafted, but there are a few guys left that are worth a look.Wyatt Ray, Boston CollegeJonathan Ledbetter, GeorgiaMalik Carney, North CarolinaDTThe Falcons didn’t add a defensive tackle in the 2019 NFL Draft, but based on Quinn’s comments, it seems like the team expects Cominsky to play a lot of snaps on the interior. Expect Atlanta to chase some of the top remaining names as UDFAs. Daniel Wise in particular would be an awesome addition—he’s an explosive penetrator on the interior, and was an early-Day 3 grade for me.Daniel Wise Stitched Brian Poole Jersey , KansasGerald Willis, MiamiRicky Walker, Virginia TechLBAtlanta has seven LBs on the current roster, but we know Dan Quinn loves competition. There were a ton of quality LBs that weren’t drafted on Day 3—I’d expect the Falcons to try to add one of the top guys. Joe Giles-Harris was one of my top-5 LBs in the class.Joe Giles-Harris, DukeTe’Von Coney, Notre DameT.J. Edwards, WisconsinCBThe Falcons added two CBs in the 2019 NFL Draft: Kendall Sheffield in the fourth round, and Jordan Miller in the fifth round. Atlanta’s depth chart there is pretty stacked at this point, but they’ll still add some guys to compete in camp. Some good ones are available, too: Mark Fields was a player I mocked to the Falcons consistently in the fourth round.Mark Fields, ClemsonSaivion Smith, AlabamaMontre Hartage, NorthwesternSAtlanta added a bunch of safeties just prior to the draft, which made it unlikely that they’d select one during the draft. However, they’re still going to bring in a few guys to compete in camp.Evan Worthington, ColoradoMalik Gant, MarshallD’Cota Dixon, WisconsinOFFENSEQBI don’t expect the Falcons to take much of a look at the available QBs with Matt Schaub and Kurt Benkert under contract, but they always add a guy or two for camp.Brett Rypien, Boise StateTyree Jackson, BuffaloJordan Ta’amu, MississippiRBAtlanta added two RBs (one is more of an RB/WR/returner hybrid) in Qadree Ollison and Marcus Green, but there’s always a ton of talent at the position that winds up undrafted. This year is no different, with three of my favorite RBs still available. Ozigbo and Williams would be fantastic additions with a real shot to make the roster.Devine Ozigbo, NebraskaJames Williams, Washington StateKaran Higdon Youth Brian Poole Jersey , MichiganWRThe Falcons, surprisingly, didn’t address the WR position in the 2019 draft. I’d expect a pretty major haul of UDFAs to compensate, and hopefully they can get their hands on some of the talent that’s still out there. Hall was a Day 2 grade for me, while Stanley Morgan Jr. and Jakobi Meyers were both early Day 3 values.Emanuel Hall, MissouriStanley Morgan, Jr., NebraskaJakobi Meyers, NC StateTEAtlanta wasn’t really in the market for a TE after adding Luke Stocker and re-signing Logan Paulsen, but I’d still expect them to add a few guys for camp. Dax Raymond is a particularly good value as a UDFA.Dax Raymond, Utah StateDonald Parham, StetsonAndrew Beck, TexasOTWith the addition of Kaleb McGary in the first round, Atlanta’s OT rotation is probably pretty solidified. That’s good news, because the guys available as UDFAs are not particularly inspiring. Hyatt is probably the biggest name on the list.Donnell Greene, MinnesotaRyan Bates, Penn StateMitch Hyatt, ClemsonC/GBeau Benzschawel, WisconsinGarrett Brumfield, LSUNate Herbig, StanfordAtlanta added Chris Lindstrom in the first round, but they could still use a developmental center behind Alex Mack. The fact that Beau Benzschawel fell out of the draft is shocking to me. He’s a versatile player that could be just the piece the Falcons are look for as a reserve.Who are some UDFAs that you’re looking at, Falcons fans?
