Player of the Game: Matt Ryan

When Peyton Manning and the Broncos jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, it looked like it was going to be a long day for the Falcons, but then Matty Ice started firing bullets all over the field, and before you knew it, the Falcons had tied the score at 21 thanks to a 15-yard touchdown run by Michael Turner and a two-point conversion that sent the game into overtime. From there, it was Ryan to Julio Jones for the 31-yard game-winning touchdown as Atlanta pulled off the thrilling comeback to start their season 2-0.
