Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder seemed optimistic about his team despite a poor showing against the Washington Commanders.
More importantly, how does he view the remainder of the season? What's the next step for a team that has shown flashes of success this season but, to this point, has failed to show week-in and week-out consistency on the scoreboard?

That's always a positive, but putting the optimism into practice is a different story.
"That's tough to go out there and put up that showing," Ridder said."You have plenty of opportunities to go put points on the board. I think what's great for this team is that game, there's a lot of good things to learn from. There's a lot of things that went wrong that we have done right in the past and just did wrong out there. I think it's only going to make us better.
