Here’s what Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had to say about the Saints:
On rookie cornerback Marshon Lattimore: "I'm not surprised (that he made the Pro Bowl). He's a pretty good player and he's had a great season. He's done a good job for them. They have a lot of confidence in him certainly on the defensive side of the ball. In playing man-to-man coverage, they trust him to lock down guys. He's done it at certain times this year. I think he's had a good year. He's certainly a guy that we'll have to play our best when we are going against him."
On Saints linebacker Manti Te'o: "He did a nice job last week (against the Jets). He's a physical player. He runs pretty well. He's good against the run and the pass. He's done a nice job. He's been a good addition for them."
On the noise factor in the Superdome: "This is one of the louder environments in the league. I've played down there a number of times. For this 2017 team, it will be real similar to when we played in Seattle. Seattle is really loud, too. We plan for it and we'll prepare for it all week. I feel like we'll have a good plan and will be able to communicate effectively."
