Quarterback Matt Ryan is a nominee this week for the NFL's Air Player of the Week honors for games played Dec. 13-17.
Ryan completed 23-of-28 passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns to finish his day with a 142.6 passer rating in the Falcons' 34-0 win against the New York Giants. His passer rating was the second highest of his career.

His previous high was 4,177. He also broke his club record for completions in a season, connecting on 369 passes this year, crushing his previous high and Falcons record of 357 in 2010.
Also nominated this week for Air Player of the Week is Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
