Despite moving onto the Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Matt Ryan seemingly still can’t get away from the worst loss of his NFL career.
On Wednesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame tweeted out a photo of a football commemorating Ryan becoming the eighth QB in NFL history to reach 60,000 career passing yards.
Although on the surface the tribute seemed harmless enough, you have to take a close look at the serial number on the ball.

Ball number “283” it reads, because of course it does. Yet another painful reminder of the 25-point comeback by the Patriots after falling behind 28-3.
Coincidences notwithstanding, reaching the 60,000 career passing yards milestone put Ryan among elite company with Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Dan Marino.
