Matt Ryan on fumbles: ‘I’ve got to be a little bit better’

After eight games this season Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan already has fumbled six times, matching the high for any of his previous seven full pro seasons.

Ryan has fumbled on 1.2 percent of his 509 snaps played this season. If he plays 1,000 snaps and keeps fumbling at that rate, he will have a whopping 12 fumbles after 16 games.
