The Falcons said Ridder was being evaluated for a concussion but added shortly after that he had been cleared. He was on the bench at the start of the second half, wearing a hat and following the offense, as Heinicke took the field for the first time this season. The switch came after a rough first half as Ridder completed 8 of 12 passes for 71 yards while being sacked five times and also losing a fumble -- his fourth lost fumble in the past two weeks. He also had three carries for 26 yards.
Heinicke came in on his first drive and completed 1 of 2 passes for 7 yards and led the Falcons to a field goal on a seven-play, 44-yard drive, Atlanta's longest of the game. After the drive, Heinicke took the spot on the bench next to offensive coordinator Dave Ragone, where Ridder typically has sat after drives this season.sustained a knee injury on the first defensive series and was later ruled out for the rest of the game. Jarrett has been one of the team's defensive mainstays during the three-year transition from the Dan Quinn era to the Arthur Smith era.
