The Falcons got a huge win over the Jets on Sunday, and after passing Drew Brees for an NFL record earlier this year , Matt Ryan continued to climb up the all-time NFL leaderboards.

Matt Ryan is the second fastest player to reach 5,000 completions behind only Drew Brees.

He has also passed Eli Manning for 8th all-time in passing yards.
