It really was sheer misery for the Birds whenever they matched up against the Rams in the early days, as they won just two out of the team's first 19 matchups through the 1976, while suffering a 56-0 beatdown in that '76 season. That's still the largest margin of defeat in franchise history. It was decisive L after decisive L for the Falcons, as the Rams almost felt like an auto loss on the schedule in the 1970s and 1980s.
