Where is Ryan's pocket presence ??? Well, a QB can only have so much "pocket presence" when he is playing behind an offensive line that is performing like that of a Division I-AA college team ...... yet despite that, Ryan somehow managed to go 27-for-37 for 222 yards, 2 TD's, 0 INT's, which was good for a 105.9 QB rating. If we can somehow get our offensive line to improve from awful to average, we just may start seeing the Matt Ryan that had so many excellent seasons when he was playing for the Falcons. The return of Michael Pittman Jr, who missed last week's game against the Jaguars with a quadricep injury, evidently made a significant difference also.

Also, Ryan was 8-for-10 on what proved to be the game-winning touchdown drive late in the 4th quarter ...... and that drive took 8 minutes and 14 seconds, leaving the Chiefs with only 18 seconds after the touchdown and kickoff return.
