The Atlanta Falcons are no longer undefeated, but quarterback Matt Ryan—who was harassed by the Saints during Thursday night’s 31-21 loss—isn’t worried.
“It was a tough night,” Ryan said, via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I don’t think there’s a loss of identity or anything like that. We just didn’t play as well as we are capable of.”
The Falcons committed three turnovers (all lost fumbles) and had a punt blocked for a touchdown. Meanwhile, Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 30 of 39 passes 312 yards and one touchdown.
Ryan took a beating.
