Here’s the QB corner with Matt Ryan and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s D. Orlando Ledbetter:

Q: What went on in the Ryan household for Thanksgiving?

A: It was quiet at the Ryan household this year. We've had family in for games this past weekend, and they're coming in this weekend, so the actual Thanksgiving Day was quiet. I enjoyed it with my wife.

Q: Your impressions of the Cardinals’ defense?

A: They're obviously, as a football team, they've got the best record in the NFL. They're playing with a lot of confidence, playing at a high level. Defensively, they're really good at all three levels.

Q: Have you assessed throwing nine interceptions in your past two meetings with the Cardinals?

A: There's a lot to learn against this defense. … I think probably the biggest thing is you have to be patient. You have to understand that they're going to make some plays. They're going to get you off schedule at certain times, but you have to continue to take what's there, and I have to do a better job than I've done the previous two times against them.

Q: Can you all make a mini-run to qualify for the playoffs?

A: You can't help but understand where you're at. Moving forward, we've got everything we want right in front of us. Obviously, we can't change the previous 11 games and what we've done up until this point. I just hope that we can control what we do moving forward.
