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

Q: What’s your assessment of the Giants’ defense?

A: They are leading the league in turnovers. They are being opportunistic when they have the chance to take it away. The turnover battle is huge every week. But especially this week as we are going against a defense that has been as opportunistic as they have been. We've got to focus on protecting the ball.

Q: Are you comfortable with the revamped offensive line?

A: When somebody goes down, you're asked to do all of the things that the guy in front of you was doing without many of the reps. I'm confident in those guys because I think we've got real professionals. We have guys that have been doing their job and have been studying their plans up until this point. Now that they've got their opportunity, I think they're already to go.

Q: What did you see in your film study that showed how the Giants were able to intercept Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins four times?

A: They have playmakers. They have guys on the back end who are good at reading eyes. Then they are good at breaking on the ball because they are athletic. So, I think they've got a good secondary that benefits from a good push up front. It helps to create turnovers, and they do a great job of creating pass rush with their guys.
