Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (2) completed 15 of 27 passes for 221 yards in win over New Orleans.

Here’s what Matt Ryan had to say about the Bucs:

On how the Bucs will play Julio Jones:  "We'll see what they do. They've been consistent throughout the year. They have a system that they believe in, we'll see.

“Julio put up some big numbers the last time that we played them. Maybe there is some cloud coverage or double-teams for him, but as far as fronts and blitzes, what they’ve shown throughout the year is going to show up Monday night.”

On Bucs tackle Gerald McCoy:  "We are going to prepare like he's going to go. That's the mindset that we have to have. He's a great player. When he's out there, we certainly have to account for where he's at."

On rebounding after a poor outing: "You can't beat yourself up. It's hard enough in this league to go out there. You know every week that you are a week away from being humbled. I learned that early on. I have great belief in myself. It's a tough league. There are going to be weeks like that from time to time."
