Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts
Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Atlanta traded longtime quarterback Matt Ryan to Indianapolis for pick No. 82 in 2022, ending a 14-year era and beginning a roster reset. The Falcons used the pick on DeAngelo Malone, who became primarily a rotational defender and special-teams contributor. Ryan started 12 games for the Colts, throwing for 3,057 yards, 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions before being released after one season. Atlanta won because Indianapolis received no lasting quarterback solution.
