QB CORNER: Matt Ryan
Here’s the QB corner with Matt Ryan and The Atlanta Journal Constitution’s D. Orlando Ledbetter
Q: Are you looking forward to playing on “Monday Night Football?”
A: Yeah. It's always fun to play on "Monday Night Football," and it's always fun to go up to Lambeau Field. It's a great historical spot and a fun place to play. We're all looking forward to it. It's something that you've grown up watching and have always dreamed about playing in those kind of games.
Q: How do you prepare for Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews III?
A: Clay is a really good player. The last four or five weeks, they have kind of moved him inside a little bit. But they still get him on to the outside to pass rush. They use him in a bunch of different ways because he's such a versatile player.
Q: How is the Packers defense playing overall?
A: As a whole, the defense is playing very well. They are opportunistic. They are maybe fourth in the (NFL) in turnovers and maybe first in interceptions. It's a solid defense and a defense that's playing with a lot of confidence.
Q: Have you ever considered wearing a glove on your throwing hand?
A: I've played in plenty of cold-weather games in my life growing up where I did (in Pennsylvania) and then playing in Boston in college. That has never really worked for me.
