After Ryan took a pounding from Chicago in the season opener, they had to abandon their plan for a deep-passing fireworks show. In the game against the Bears, Ryan was sacked five times and hit 11 times.
The Falcons eventually had to stay with their short passing attack and had to use backs and extra tight ends to help protect Ryan.
