Atlanta Falcons (4-3-0)

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.
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."

Gonzalez had six catches for 89 yards in the Falcons' 35-27 loss at New Orleans on Monday night.
Gonzalez had at least four catches for the fourth straight week, even though he's only scored once in his last five games. Look for him to be a red-zone target more in the coming weeks with Matt Ryan struggling.

White had four catches for 108 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 35-27 loss at New Orleans on Monday night.
White's touchdown catch was impressive and another he nearly caught would have been even better. It's the fourth straight game White has scored and look for many more, particularly with Carolina and Washington on the schedule the next few weeks.

Ryan was intercepted three times, his third consecutive game with at least two picks, and finished 19 of 42 for 289 yards Monday night in the Falcons' 35-27 loss at New Orleans.
"I'm not concerned at all,'' coach Mike Smith said of his second-year quarterback. "We're going to be judged on 16 games. Not one game and not three games.'' Ryan could have better luck the next few weeks against Carolina and Washington.
