Here’s the QB corner with Matt Ryan and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s D. Orlando Ledbetter:
Q: Would an NFL team being in London work with the long trips to England?
A: Some of the West Coast trips that we take as an East Coast team are long trips as well, and you deal with some of those issues when you travel from Atlanta to Seattle; that's a long trip. I don't know. I haven't thought enough about it to really give you a quality answer on that.
Q: Could a London-based team be based in the NFC South?
A: I don't know. We're lucky in our division, everybody's really close, and you got your hour-and-ten-minute flight to each of those spots that you're going. I don't know. I'm sure there would be both. I'm sure there would be guys that are cool with it, and I'm sure there would be guys that would want to keep the division games closer to home.
Q: Is playing a game in London a distraction for the Falcons?
A: I think given this situation that we're in as a team, I think everybody's mindset is right. I think we don't have the luxury of distraction at this point. We've really got to focus in on what we're doing and really try to get a win this Sunday.
Q: Have you been to a futbol game in London?
A: I never have. I've never been to a futbol game over here. It's a bucket-list thing that I'd like to do at some point.
