ATLANTA — Matt Ryan took an awful beating. Another win for the Atlanta Falcons will make the pain a lot easier to take. Shaking off a career-high seven sacks, Ryan completed a 59-yard pass to Roddy White with about a minute remaining, setting up Matt Bryant's 40-yard field goal that kept the Falcons perfect on the season with a wild 30-28 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
