Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has said that the New York Jets have an "extremely physical" defense.
The AFC East side have made 255 tackles, 14 sacks and forced four fumbles so far this season.
The 28-year-old told reporters: "They're very good. Their front seven is extremely physical. Their three interior guys in their 3-4 scheme, big, strong, stout against the run, but also very good against the pass.
"They're very multiple in their looks, give you a lot of different things to prepare for. I think they've been playing very aggressively.
"On the back end, they have some guys who can make plays. [Antonio] Cromartie is extremely talented, very long, very good when he's in press coverage, can get his hands on you. So I've been very impressed with their defense."
The Falcons host the Jets on Monday night.
