The Pro Football Hall of Fame made a big announcement over Matt Ryan on Twitter. The quarterback became the eighth QB in the NFL to reach 60,000 career passing yards. The ball he used to make the accomplishment is currently on exhibition in Canton, Ohio. However, the fans cannot unsee the number ‘283’ at the bottom of the ball.
To give out some context, the number on the displayed game ball will remind Matt Ryan of a humiliating situation. It stems from the blown 28-3 lead in Super Bowl LI against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. It was the quarterback’s biggest career failure. Over the years, Atlanta’s second-half collapse gets mocked and dubbed the worst downfall in NFL playoff history.
