Matt Ryan Was Unlucky On Interceptions Last Season 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Jun 1, 2018 12:06 pm

Matt Ryan threw 12 interceptions last season, which isn't a high total, but the Atlanta Falcons quarterback actually had a fair amount of bad luck.

According to Football Outsiders, Ryan threw five interceptions that should have been completions to his own teammates. A high number of passes were thrown into the hands of Atlanta receivers, only to be tipped into the hands of a defensive player.

No quarterback has had that many tipped interceptions in a season since 2010.

In 2017, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger all threw more passes than Ryan and had zero passes tipped by their own receivers and intercepted.
