Matt Ryan pokes fun at himself after failed-block tumble

NEW ORLEANS -- Matt Ryan's teammates are sure to give him a hard time about it all week. One of them already did.

Defensive lineman Derrick Shelby playfully nudged Ryan on Twitter after the Atlanta Falcons quarterback had a comical tumble while opting not to block 6-foot-4, 308-pound New Orleans Saints nose tackle Nick Fairley on a Devonta Freeman cutback run Monday night.

Even Ryan had to poke fun at himself.

"That was bad," Ryan said with a laugh.
