News and Notes
Nov 6 Ryan has shown his human side over the last three weeks, throwing seven interceptions after being picked off just 13 times in his first 20 regular-season games.

Advice: Not all were his fault, of course. There were protection issues and tipped balls and receivers not always running the proper route. But it all comes back to the quarterback, the guy known as Matty Ice. "You've got to ride the ebb and flow of a season," Ryan said. "There's going to be ups and downs. It's a long, long year. At the end of it, you look back and kind of judge how you did."

Nov 5 QB Matt Ryan has completed 139 of 233 passes for 1,649 yards and 12 touchdowns for a 82.3 passer rating. He set a career-high with 329 passing yards against the 49ers in Week 5, while completing a 90-yard TD pass in the game (third longest in club history). Yahoo! Sports

Nov 2 Ryan completed 19-of-42 passes for 289 yards and a touchdown with three interceptions in Atlanta's 35-27 loss to the Saints on Monday night.

Recommendation: Not to put too fine of a point on it, but Ryan was the primary reason Atlanta couldn't keep pace with the Saints' offense in Monday night's shootout. While one of his interceptions came on a Hail Mary at the end of the game, Ryan still threw two other costly picks (one that was returned for a touchdown and one that ended a Falcons drive) and completed only 45.2 percent of his passes. While Ryan is still in a great situation and has undeniable talent, he has seemed to take a step back the past two weeks.
