A Bears Victory Sunday night against Atlanta is contingent upon getting to Matt Ryan. In short, if they don't hit "Matty Ice" early and often, this could be an ugly game to watch. The Falcons running game seems to be getting on track with Michael Turner and everyone knows that Ryan can make all the throws.
This task of knocking around Matt Ryan is easier said than done. His vaunted offensive line has only given up 2 sacks in 4 games. In addition, Ryan is adept at getting rid of the ball quickly. If you're not scared enough as a Bears fan, Tony Gonzalez looks like the perfect "safety blanket" for Ryan, and the Falcons just finished embarrassing a 49ers team that should have beaten Minnesota.
So if you're a Bears fan looking for a 1st quarter key as how the game is going, see if Chicago can make life uncomfortable for Ryan. If that doesn't happen the Bears will need to force several turnovers if they hope to win this game. It is a contest that will be an early season measure as to whether the Bears are one of the elite teams in the NFC.
