Last weekend before the game, Addison shared some trash talk on his Instagram page directed at Ryan, calling him a crybaby. While Addison was able to collect a sack, the Panthers lost to the Falcons for the 15th time in Ryan’s career 23 starts against Carolina.

Addison leads the team with eight sacks this season. He will be come a free agent at the end of the year and needs re-signing.

Time to send this CRYBABY back home with dat L

Mario Addison sounds excited for tomorrow’s NFC South matchup with the Falcons. The veteran Panthers pass rusher just shared a post on Instagram mocking Matt Ryan, writing “Time to send this CRYBABY back home with dat L.”

Addison has had some strong performances against Atlanta in the past. In 13 career meetings, he’s totaled four sacks, 10 quarterback hits and seven tackles for a loss.

Ryan is no pushover, though. He’s 14-8 against Carolina in his career.

Addison got off to a hot start this season, posting 6.5 sacks over his first five games. However, Addison only has half a sack in his last three. His matchup with Falcons Pro Bowl left tackle Jake Matthews is one we’ll be keeping an eye on Sunday.
