Roddy White has said that the Atlanta Falcons are not afraid to face any team in the NFL playoffs.

The Falcons are currently the top seed in the NFC conference, having lost just two games this season.

The wide receiver told USA Today: "I could say, two, three years ago, that was the attitude, trying to escape guys and not do this and say, 'I hope we don't get these guys'.

"We'd be saying, 'Oh, these guys can do this, they're a good football team.' We can't say we don't want to play them. We can't say that. This year, it's a totally different team."

Last season, the Falcons were knocked out in the first round of playoffs by the eventual Super Bowl winners the New York Giants.
