The Atlanta Falcons suffered another gut-wrenching loss Sunday, something to which they have grown accustomed -- losing on the last play of the game for the third time this season.

But with the rival New Orleans Saints waiting for a Thursday night game, there's no time for self pity, especially if Atlanta wants to keep its razor-thin playoff hopes alive.

"I think the opponent we're going against, the stage that it's on, makes it pretty easy to be able to turn around quickly and put this one behind us," Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan said.
