Falcons' Dee Alford: Minimal role in Week 7

Alford recorded one tackle (one solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss at San Francisco.

The 49ers ran the ball on 59 percent of their offensive snaps in Week 7, so Alford was only on the field for 22 plays on defense, limiting his opportunities. With a pass-dependent Dolphins attack on tap for Week 8, Alford is set up nicely for a bounce-back game.
