Turn up the volume: Matt Ryan and Pats Locker room 09.27.09 at 9:25 pm ET
By Mike Petraglia

FOXBORO – The Patriots lost the anchor of their defensive line in the first half when Vince Wilfork went out with an ankle injury.

But the Patriots never seem to panic in situations like that. In fact, they do just the opposite as the Falcons found out on Sunday. The Patriots hunker down and turn up the defensive intensity while making life miserable for Matt Ryan in his return to New England after four years at Boston College.

Terrence Wheatley on what was key to defending Tony Gonzalez.
