(Tape delayed)

Falcons RB Jerious Norwood: The Falcons have been looking for ways to get Norwood and his career average 6.6 yards per touch into the game. Will offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey find new ways to get the ball in his hands?

St. Louis backup QBs: Quarterback Marc Bulger has a small fracture in the pinky finger of his throwing hand which will likely keep him out for two weeks. That means more playing time for backups Brock Berlin and Kyle Boller.

St. Louis backup RB situation: The team could use a viable backup behind oft-injured starting RB Steven Jackson. Sam Gado made his case last week, rushing for 93 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown run.
