Matt Ryan gave the Atlanta Falcons a little scare prior to kickoff between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.
As he was coming out of the tunnel for his entrance, Ryan apparently took some pyrotechnics to the eye and began rubbing his eye in discomfort. He eventually took his helmet off and made his way to the sidelines.
Here is the video:
Once Ryan was on the sideline, he put in some eye drops and was good to go.
The pyrotechnics to the eye didn’t seem to bother Ryan too much, however.
The Falcons received the ball to start the game and Ryan drove the Falcons right down the field for a touchdown. Ryan was 4-for-4 for 58 yards and a touchdown.
Not too shabby for a dude who had trouble seeing just a few minutes ago.
