ATLANTA -- Ask around the Atlanta Falcons locker room about what type of leader Adrian Clayborn is, and most will tell you the veteran defensive end quietly goes about his business and leads by example.
Sunday was the perfect demonstration of the relentless, workhorse mentality folks see from Clayborn on a daily basis. He set a franchise record with six sacks, topping the previously record of five shared by Hall of Famer Claude Humphrey and pass-rush guru Chuck Smith. And Clayborn's inspired effort gave the Falcons a little extra juice on a day they needed a boost and a win.
