Simply put, Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley arrived on Sunday.

Sure, it was bound to be a low-defense, high-0ffense contest between the Falcons and the Saints but what was surprising was that this first-round pick out of Alabama was the go-to guy for Matt Ryan (374 yards, 5 TDs) seemingly all day long. He caught seven of eight passes that came his way for 146 yards and three touchdowns in a 43-37 overtime loss. Only one WR had a better week when it comes to yardage and nobody else had three TDs receiving or rushing. It wasn't a total surprise as he found the end zone last week -- but he had a completely silent debut in Week 1 that could have quieted some of the hype. >> Check out Calvin Ridley autos on eBay

Falcons fans have been used to a different receiver formerly of the Crimson Tide getting the job done in Julio Jones but Sunday's game from Ridley showed that there could be some amazing things to come this season and beyond -- both together or solo.
