"Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who has led the team to one touchdown in eight quarters on the road this season, hopes to light up the scoreboard in Seattle.

Here's a brief Q&A involving Ryan and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's D. Orlando Ledbetter.

Q: How do you feel after taking so many hits?

A: I feel good. Body feels good, and I think our guys up front are playing hard. We're going to continue to get better at all phases.

Q: Which players on Seattle's defense present the most problems?

A: I think [Chris] Clemons, their defensive end, does a great job. He's fast off the ball, good in pass rush. [Marcus] Trufant is a good corner, a solid guy, been around for a long time, a savvy vet. ... He'll jump some things. [They're] a good solid defense and a defense that I think plays really well in Seattle."
