"It's hard to find fault with the Falcons offense the past two games. It rolled up 373 yards in a 41-14 victory over the Jaguars on Thursday night. That performance came four days after it churned out 394 yards in a 31-23 win over the Panthers.

Leave it to Matt Ryan to not be fully satisfied with the recent results.

"I still think we can be a lot better; I really do," the quarterback said following Thursday night's rout. "When we turn on the film and look at things after games, there are three, four, five, six plays that we look at that we could have executed better. We could have run this route better, could have thrown this ball better.

"That's what we are trying to get to, but I think we are making steps in the right direction."

Ryan has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 14 consecutive games, including seven in the past two. He is fifth in the NFL with 26 touchdowns and is just two from his career-high 28 last season.

The Falcons (9-5) are in solid position to make the playoffs as a wild-card entry with two games remaining. They currently are the fifth seed and still have an outside chance to catch the Saints, their next opponent, for the NFC South title. The Saints, however, need just one win from among their remaining three games, including Sunday against the Vikings, to clinch the division."
