The Atlanta Falcons have a bye in Week 14, and it couldn't come at a better time as the team is on a two-game losing streak and dealing with a quarterback controversy.
On Sunday, the Falcons suffered a 19-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers to fall to 5-8 on the season. With the team's playoff chances dwindling, it sounds as if head coach Arthur Smith and his staff are at least seriously considering making a change at quarterback.
At Smith's Monday press conference, he was peppered with questions about the QB situation. Here are five notable quotes from the Falcons head coach.
Falcons have "Intense meetings" ahead
Mariota's wife is in labor
Circumstances have changed
Doesn't want to make knee-jerk reaction
Falcons need to get back in win column
