Matt Ryan was 11-of-19 for 138 yards for Atlanta, but pressure from the Titans’ defense prevented him from gaining momentum. Aside from field goals on the first two drives, the Falcons offense under Ryan managed a missed field goal and three punts, two of which were three-and-outs. Ryan also nearly fumbled the ball on a run, saved only by a ruling that forward progress had stopped prior to his losing control of the ball.
The Falcons, currently winless in the preseason, finish at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Titans' final game of the preseason comes on the road against the Minnesota Vikings.
