The Falcons (4-3) and Panthers (5-3) are neck and neck in the division, and it turns out, their quarterbacks are too.
Ryan is ranked #13 in passing yards. Cam Newton is right behind him at #14. Ryan has the edge in total yards, yards per game, and completion percentage. Newton has one more touchdown (10) but a much worse TD to INT ratio than Matt Ryan. Newton has thrown nearly twice as many interceptions (11) but also sacked (22) nearly twice as much (22) too.
The two quarterbacks go head to head Sunday in Bank of America. We'll get to see head-to-head how they stack up.
