The former Texas AM standout has started 47 of a po sible 48 games in his NFL career and he'll be on the field when the Falcons face the on Sunday afternoon. Matthews hasn't lived up to his first-round pedigree; he ranked dead last (84th) among all offensive tackles as a rookie Ryan Getzlaf Kids Jersey , according to , improved to 23rd (out of 76) in 2015 but slipped to 41st (out of 76) last season. That inconsistency certainly had something to do with the ' scouting report ahead of Super Bowl LI.

I know I'm a good player and I know I can play. So, just keep working." Matthews' teammate, right tackle , also came to his defense. Schraeder added: "That s---, it's just whatever. The Patriots can say whatever they want." The Falcons' focus is on Chicago but somewhere in the back of Matthews' mind has to be Atlanta's Week 7 opponent: The New England Patriots.
