Rams vs. Falcons: What's at stake
The Rams (11–4) remain in the NFC playoff race as they return Monday night after an extended break. To clinch a second straight division title, Los Angeles must beat Atlanta and Arizona Cardinals, while the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers must lose at least once each across the final two weeks.
Los Angeles is coming off a tough Week 16 loss to Seattle, blowing a 16-point fourth-quarter lead in a 38–37 overtime defeat. Head coach Sean McVay said the team is eager to respond after the setback.
"We did get a chance to get caught up on rest, but at the same time, as a competitor, you're ready to get back at it," McVay said. "I couldn't have been more excited to get back in the building and get around our players and start our preparation."
