Atlanta Falcons statistical leaders at the bye week

The Atlanta Falcons have a lot to figure out before their final seven games of the 2023 season. Luckily, the team has a bye week to try and right the ship after a three-game losing streak.

Head coach Arthur Smith has yet to name a starting quarterback, but his Week 10 postgame comments led many to believe Desmond Ridder will take over for Taylor Heinicke in Week 12.

Here’s an updated look at the Falcons’ statistical leaders at the bye week.
