In spite of the atrocious performance from the offensive line, Matt Ryan still managed to have a QB rating of 105.9 ...... that included 2 TD passes, 0 INT's, and a game-winning touchdown drive late in the 4th quarter.

This is pretty much the story so far.
The defense is OK, I wouldn't say excellent, but the run defense is solid, the secondary gradually improving from awful to below average, the pass rush likewise. Also special teams is playing well and really when it comes down it I think that was the difference in the game. Their muffed punt, missed FG and failed fake are the real reasons we won that game.
The offensive line went from a strength in recent years to being about as bad a unit as I can recall. Ryan will be OK as long as he has Pittman and Pierce on the field, those 2 made some big time catches vs the Chiefs. Glad to see Jelani Woods showed up. Those weren't exactly hard ones, but he did his job, and its good the 6'7" guy is actually useful in the end zone.
