Jon Ryan And His Face Win The Internet: Best Memes
Much has been made about Seattle Seahawks’ punter Jon Ryan and his touchdown pass to Gary Gilliam in the NFC Championship. The play was the first sign of life from Seattle in an otherwise atrocious first three quarters.

- Seattle Seahawks: To rest or not to rest, that is the question
- Seattle Seahawks: 12s still waiting to exhale
- Seattle Seahawks: 4 Takeaways from 26-23 Loss to the 49ers
- Seattle Seahawks: Four Takeaways from Week 14 21-7 victory
- Seattle Seahawks: Three Takeaways from the Week 13 43-16 victory
By itself, the play would go down as one of the top plays of the year for the Seahawks, right up there with Kam Chancellor‘s pick-six against Carolina and Marshawn Lynch‘s Beastquake 2.0.
But even more has been made about the face Ryan makes as he releases the ball, and for good reason. I mean seriously, just look at it.
Ryan himself has been known to make self-deprecating jokes in good fun from time to time, and this occasion was no different.
Dear self: next time you do something awesome, make a less terrible face. Thank you.
