Atlanta Falcons really showed their inexperience last night when they blew a 25 point lead in the 4th quarter to lose to the New England Patriots. Tom Brady couldn’t ask for a better comeback winning situation.
The Atlanta Falcons are definitely new to this thang they call the Superbowl

I know it was a heart breaking 26 to 20 loss for Ravens fans, but here are the highlights from the Ravens vs Falcons game:
It was a close game like most of us thought it would be. Just when Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens looked like they might steal the victory, Matt Ryan struck back with the game winning touchdown pass.
It was a real heartbreaker for us Ravens fans to watch. Our weaknesses at the cornerback position were exposed once again as the Ravens fell to the Falcons by a score of 26 to 21.
Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan were the top two quarterbacks of the 2008 NFL draft and they have been getting compared to each other ever since. If you look at their stats you can see why. Their numbers could not be more similar.
Joe Flacco has a 26-14 record with an 85.8 quarterback rating. Matt Ryan has a 26-12 record with an 85.7 quarterback rating. Joe Flacco has completed 61.5 percent of his passes, and Matt Ryan has managed to complete 60.4 percent of his tosses. Each of them has thrown 30 interceptions in their careers.
These two quarterbacks will meet for the first time tonight as the Baltimore Ravens play the Atlanta Falcons on the national stage. Joe Flacco has been playing exceptionally well as of late, and I hope this continues on the road in Atlanta.
