While Julio Jones is sucking up most of the attention, Matt Ryan had the best game by a quarterback in Atlanta Falcons history on Sunday.

Ryan's 503 passing yards is the most in a single game by any Falcons quarterback and just the 19th time in NFL history that a passer has surpassed 500 yards.

The 31-year-old completed 28-of-37 passes and added four touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers, while Jones racked up 300 yards on 12 catches.

The Falcons won 48-33.
