Matt Ryan posts a sincere ‘thank you’ video to Falcons fans
Atlanta Falcons fans may not be thrilled with the Super Bowl’s outcome, but quarterback Matt Ryan wants them to know they’re still appreciated.
“Hey everyone, I just want to take a minute to thank you all for the amazing support you guys showed us this season,” the NFL MVP and former Boston College Eagle said in a video he posted to Twitter Thursday. “I know I speak on behalf of all of my teammates when I say we really appreciate it.”

Ryan also told fans to make noise for the city’s Hawks, Braves, and United franchises before cheering on the Falcons again next season.
The teams, in turn, thanked him back:
