ATLANTA — Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons have plenty of mistakes to work on during their bye week. Of course, it's sure easier to fix the problems when you're still unbeaten. Asante Samuel returned an interception 79 yards for a touchdown in the closing minutes and Matt Bryant connected on a 55-yard field goal with 1 second remaining, allowing the Falcons to escape with a sloppy 23-20 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
