Matt Ryan’s 154 consecutive games started streak has come to a shocking end as he has been ruled out for tomorrow’s game with the Seattle Seahawks. The Atlanta Falcons will start long time backup Matt Schaub, who will get his first start since 2015.
Schaub has been with the Falcons for the last three years, but he hasn’t started a game during that time, last starting for the Baltimore Ravens.
He last started for the Falcons in 2005 before tricking the Houston Texans into letting him start for them over the next seven years.
Schaub is one of the forgotten QBs from the great 2004 Draft. He’s only 30,000 yards behind Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, and Eli Manning, and only several hundred TDs behind them.
Danny Etling, former New England Patriot, has been signed off the practice squad to be the backup in the game.
