The Facts:
Norwood, perhaps the team's biggest threat for big plays, had only seven touches against the Vikings. He had five carries for 33 yards and two catches for 24 yards, including a 15-yarder for Joey Harrington's longest completion. Starter Warrick Dunn gained only 55 yards on 22 carries.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The good news? HC Bobby Petrino hinted Norwood today that would have more opportunities next week at Jacksonville. "We certainly want to get the ball in his hands," Petrino said. "He's the guy who has the speed and can make big plays for us. He showed that. ..." Dunn's skills as a pass blocker ensure him a continuing role, but the Falcons clearly need more playmakers on the field and Norwood is that.
