(Sports Network) - The Georgia Dome has been more like a Terrordome for visiting opponents with Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan at the helm.

Ryan is an amazing 19-1 in his career at home, where the Falcons are 6-0 this season, and is preparing for the biggest game of the season Monday versus the division-rival and defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. Ryan helped the Falcons complete a perfect three-game road trip with Sunday's 34-18 victory at Seattle and post their eighth win in row overall.

The former first-round draft pick posted his fourth three-touchdown game of the season by completing 20 of his 35 pass attempts for 174 yards with an interception. Ryan, the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for November, has thrown for a career-high 25 touchdowns this season and has a TD pass in a career-best 13 straight games. He has thrown multiple touchdown passes in eight games in 2010 and owns 32 wins in his first three seasons. Hall of Famer Dan Marino had 33 wins in his first three campaigns.
