Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who has led the team to one touchdown in eight quarters on the road this season, hopes to light up the scoreboard in Seattle.
Here’s a brief Q&A involving Ryan and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s D. Orlando Ledbetter.
Q: How do you feel after taking so many hits?
A: I feel good. Body feels good, and I think our guys up front are playing hard. We're going to continue to get better at all phases.
Q: Which players on Seattle’s defense present the most problems?
A: I think [Chris] Clemons, their defensive end, does a great job. He's fast off the ball, good in pass rush. [Marcus] Trufant is a good corner, a solid guy, been around for a long time, a savvy vet. ... He'll jump some things. [They're] a good solid defense and a defense that I think plays really well in Seattle.
Q: How do you take Seattle’s crowd out of the game?
A: It is a loud place. The way that the stadium is set up, that sound kind of stays on the field. Our communication has to be really good. We'll have to be on top of it. We've done a great job in situations like this. We play in New Orleans, which is loud, every year. You kind of get used to those types of situations. Our communication just needs to be really good.
