The Facts: The Falcons will aim to beat the Colts on Sunday without the help of Freeman. The NFL's third-leading rusher piled up 43 yards off three carries before leaving Sunday's game with a concussion.

Diehards Line: The Falcons quickly ruled him out. Freeman got off to a hot start before exiting, slashing through Indy's defense on a pretty 39-yard run on Atlanta's second drive. In his absence, rookies Tevin Coleman and Terron Ward will handle backfield duties for a Falcons club hoping to snap a two-game losing streak. We'll follow up in coming days as Freeman works his way through the NFL's concussion protocol.
