The kid from Delaware County which is just outside of Philadelphia, is preparing himself to step on the NFL's biggest stage. Sunday evening in Houston, Matt Ryan will lead his Atlanta Falcons into battle vs. the New England Patriots. The winner will hoist the Lombardi trophy as Superbowl LI champions. It will either be the 5th for New England or 1st for Atlanta. Saturday night at the NFL Honors Exton, PA native Matt Ryan won the 2016 AP NFL MVP award. It's been a journey for Ryan from Penn Charter to Boston College to the Atlanta Falcons. Now at minimum 60 football minutes away from a world championship. Ryan has been though the ups and downs when it comes to the NFL. Back in 2012 Atlanta took a home halftime lead into the locker room during the NFC Championship Game vs. San Francisco. The Falcons were shut out in the 2nd half and witnessed the 49ers advance to Superbowl XLVII. The Falcons two weeks ago blew out the Packers, during their final game at the Georgia Dome. That victory advanced the Falcons to their 2nd Superbowl appearance and their first since 1998.
