#4 – vs. Packers, Week 8

In perhaps one of the most exciting games of the season, the Falcons beat the Green Bay Packers with a fourth quarter game winning drive that ended with a Mohamed Sanu touchdown catch. It was a vintage Matty Ice moment, but also proof of the Falcons’ legitimacy. They went toe to toe with a perennial contender and won, and Ryan outplayed one of his biggest competitors for the MVP award.

It was a game that made many Falcons fans hold their breath, but it also filled them with joy in the end.
