With news of the Michael Vick guilty plea hanging over the city of Atlanta, the Falcons soldier on tonight on Monday Night Football with a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The good news for the Falcons is that running back Warrick Dunn, who had offseason back surgery, is expected to start after being limited in practice this week.
Dunn also had a message for all the Falcons' fans who have been affected by the Vick dogfighting scandal.
"We just want people to come out and support us and give us an opportunity to show them what we have," Dunn said. "To me, if they are true Falcons fans, they are going to support us, no matter what happened off the field. Now everyone is concentrating on the guys who are here and getting better.
"Hopefully the fans are excited and will support the guys who will be playing."
Oddsmakers currently have the Bengals listed as 3-point favorites versus the Falcons, while the game's total is sitting at 38.
