Ridder completed four of six passes for 39 yards and gained 11 rushing yards and a touchdown on three carries after replacing Taylor Heinicke (hamstring) in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Cardinals.

The second-year quarterback gave the Falcons a spark, and Ridder's nine-yard TD run with under three minutes left gave his team a 23-22 lead that the defense couldn't hold up. Atlanta gets its bye next week, giving Heinicke time to heal up; however, if he's not ready to return in Week 12, Ridder could find himself back in the starting role Nov. 26 against the Saints.
