Matt Ryan left Peyton and Eli Manning speechless with his endgame logic for the Eagles and Falcons thriller

Honestly, it's a little difficult to figure out what Matt Ryan was trying to say here as he rejoiced in the Atlanta Falcons' comeback win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.

Ryan had a lot of fun on the ManningCast while watching Kirk Cousins ​​engineer a prime-time drive that gave the Falcons the upset win, but there was one moment that left the Manning brothers speechless. Hats off to Warren Sharp for including this film, where Ryan explains that a team should kick the field goal first and then take the onside kick to be a last-ditch effort at the end of the game.

OK, I will try it like this: I think He assumes that the Eagles would score a touchdown and take a 25-15 lead and that the Falcons would then attempt a field goal, kick the ball offside and then try to score a touchdown.

However, the situation required that the Falcons had no timeouts if the Eagles had made a first down (this was before Saquon Barkley was dropped), so Philly would have kneeled three times to secure the win.

This confused the Mannings:
