Matt Ryan recalled a time when Peyton Manning was one of the first people to call him after winning the NFC championship
Publish date:During his introductory press conference on Tuesday, the newly acquired Matt Ryan shared a hilarious memory he has of one of the best Colts players of all time.
After Ryan and the Falcons won the NFC championship in 2017, Colts legend and Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning was one of the first people to call him after the big game. While at dinner, Ryan fondly remembers what he wanted to talk out. “He was like, ‘Alright, here’s how you’re gonna map out your two weeks,’ and I’m like man, we just won this game,” Ryan said while laughing. “I’m just trying to enjoy it.”
Manning made a living of being overly prepared and evidently he was more than happy to help Ryan prepare for his first Super Bowl. Of course, his advice didn’t translate to a win. Atlanta went on to lose 34–28 in overtime after squandering a 28–3 lead.
