Ryan first wore this jersey on December 30th, 2012, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Georgia Dome. Ryan passed for 238 yards and a touchdown in this game, a 22-17 loss, after having clinched homefield advantage for the NFC playoffs the week prior. The Penn Charter product wore this jersey again on January 13th, 2013 against the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Round. Ryan passed for 250 yards and three scores, leading the Falcons down the field in the last 30 seconds of the game to set up Matt Bryant’s game-winning field goal. Ryan was 2-2 on the final drive, hitting Harry Douglas and Tony Gonzalez to set the table for Bryant’s 49-yarder, delivering a 30-28 victory to the Atlanta faithful. This was the first playoff victory for the former Boston College star.

Ryan also wore this jersey during the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers at the Georgia Dome. Ryan passed for 396 yards and three touchdowns as the Falcons lack of a potent ground game doomed the NFC South champions to a 28-24 loss.
