— -- DENVER -- Broncos coach Gary Kubiak was taken to a local hospital as a precautionary measure following Sunday's game with what the team called "flu-like symptoms.''

Kubiak coached through the end of the Broncos' 23-16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons even though he had felt ill during the game, according to team officials. Kubiak did his customary news conference following the game and walked back into the locker room.

Kubiak continued to feel ill, however, and was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he was being evaluated Sunday night.

In 2013, Kubiak suffered what was described as a mini-stroke at halftime of a game against the Indianapolis Colts. He spent two nights in the hospital after that incident.
