Romberg Fills In At Guard

Harvey Dahl and, depending on whom you ask, offensive tackle Sam Baker all left the game with injuries for the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Brett Romberg filled in for Dahl. Romberg, a center who plugs in at guard, said he last played guard last season.

With four offensive starters out of the lineup, the team predictably struggled. The Falcons' yards-per-play average (3.9) was the lowest of the season, and their third-down conversion rate (31 percent) was the third lowest. Not great numbers against a team that entered the game 27th in the NFL in total defense and leading up to the Falcons game demoted its defensive coordinator and switched schemes.
