Following their worst showing of the season, the banged-up Atlanta Falcons are limping into a much-needed bye week. Atlanta (6-5) was held without a touchdown for the first time this year and allowed a season high in points in falling 38-6 on the road against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Falcons' defense was without cornerbacks Mike Hughes (neck), Dee Alford (hamstring) and Antonio Hamilton (pectoral). Kevin King, an injury replacement, exited Sunday's game with a concussion. Defensive linemen Ta'Quon Graham (pectoral) and James Smith-Williams (tibia) were also out, along with linebackers JD Bertrand (concussion) and Troy Andersen (knee).
