Matt Ryan calls Super Bowl LI loss a ‘scar’ that drives him
The Atlanta Falcons came up on the losing end of Super Bowl LI, but quarterback Matt Ryan insists that the team’s focus is on the future and not the past.
He told Bruce Murray and Phil Savage of SiriusXM NFL Radio:
It takes a little bit of time; there’s no question about that. I think that the further you go and don’t end up winning that, the tougher it is. But at the same time, for me, it was one of those things that you think about it, you try and assess what you could have done better, what you would do differently moving forward, and then, ultimately, you’ve got to move on.
The 32-year-old also noted that just because their attention is primarily devoted to improving for next season, that doesn’t mean Super Bowl LI has been erased from their minds.
“I think you’ll always have a little bit of that scar that kind of drives you,” he continued. “That’s fine. Never let go of that, but our focus is one hundred percent about what we’re doing and what we’re moving forward to.”
