The Falcons defeated the Panthers in Week 11, thanks in part to quarterback Matt Ryan’s 311 passing yards. It was a typical day at the office for Ryan, who’s routinely thrown for big numbers during his twelve NFL seasons.

The former MVP QB has now moved into the top ten in terms of career passing yardage, passing Warren Moon on Sunday.

At 34 years old, Ryan could potentially play for another five seasons. That would likely catapult him into the top five or higher if he keeps up his current level of production.

Ryan has 49,383 passing yards, which puts him just 2,092 yards behind Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway — who is ninth on the list with 51,475 career passing yards.

Statistically, it’s clear that Ryan is one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history, however, he needs to win a Super Bowl to really cement his legacy.

Ryan should have at least a few more cracks at redeeming the Falcons’ 2016 Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots. However, this season may have already gone to waste with the team starting 3-7.
