"The Rams already knew they will be on the road for the playoffs, a difficult assignment for any team. It's trending toward becoming one especially tough for the Rams, who only a few weeks ago appeared to be the class of the NFC, if not the NFL. Not anymore. On Monday night, the Rams for much of their game against the Atlanta Falcons, looked like a team on the road to nowhere."
"They overcame a 21-point deficit to tie the score, but Zane Gonzalez's 51-yard field goal with 21 seconds left sent the Rams to a 27-24 defeat at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It was the Rams' second loss in a row, both coming on the road. It dropped their record to 11-5 going into Sunday's regular season finale against the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium."
"Rams quarterback Stafford moved past Ben Roethlisberger into sixth place on the NFL's all-time passing yardage list, but there was not much to be happy about on a night that had set up a possible MVP-clinching stage. Stafford completed 22 of 38 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns but had three passes intercepted, including one that was returned for a touchdown."
The Rams lost 27-24 to the Atlanta Falcons after Zane Gonzalez hit a 51-yard field goal with 21 seconds remaining. The team rallied from a 21-point deficit to tie the game but failed to complete the comeback. The defeat was the Rams' second consecutive road loss and lowered their record to 11-5. Four of the five losses this season have occurred on the road. The Rams currently occupy the No. 6 seed in the NFC and could move to No. 5 with specific weekend results. Stafford threw three interceptions despite significant passing yardage milestones.
