Matt Ryan throws dart to Austin Hooper for TD in Super Bowl 51 (Video)

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan found tight end Austin Hooper with a bullet pass to extend their lead over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 51.

The Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots were knotted in a scoreless tie after the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Falcons jumped all over the Patriots. After Deion Jones forced a fumble that set up a huge touchdown for Atlanta, they came back down the field on their next drive.

After Julio Jones made a remarkable catch next to the sideline, Matt Ryan stayed perfect with another precision pass. As Austin Hooper got separation from Patrick Chung, Ryan fired a bullet right to the tight end. The Falcons would extend their lead over New England to double digits.

Needless to say, the Falcons came out with plenty of energy to begin the game. While it took a while to get their offense going, Ryan was perfect at the beginning of the game and hit all of his receivers right on the money.

The latest touchdown was a perfect pass that perfectly sums up the MVP season he had. Hooper’s been used a lot lately as a big end zone target and his quarterback put it right where he could get it.

New England looked a bit stunned on defense after the second score of the game. They were trying to settle down before the touchdown as Atlanta’s offense was gashing them down the field for big chunks.
