The Dallas Cowboys were down their best offensive lineman, Tyron Smith, Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons — which paved the way for a career day from Falcons defensive end Adrian Clayborn. 

Clayborn feasted on Smith’s absence, setting a franchise record with six sacks in the Falcons’ 27-7 win over the Cowboys. 

Clayborn was one sack short of tying the NFL record.
