Falcons QB Matt Ryan leads NFL in passing yards through Week 9

The Atlanta Falcons have put up some big yardage totals this season, but until the past four games, they hadn’t translated it into much success. Win or lose, quarterback Matt Ryan continues to throw the ball all over the field.

In Week 9, Ryan threw for 284 passing yards, three touchdowns and an interception during the Falcons’ win over the Broncos — the team’s third victory in the last four games.

The Falcons QB now leads the NFL in passing after the first nine weeks of the season, with 2,746 yards. Check out the top five below.

Ryan also has thrown for 15 touchdowns and 5 interceptions for a passer rating of 99.0. The Falcons are off in Week 10, and will resume in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints, who currently lead the NFC South.
