Atlanta Falcons defeat Rams<\/h2>\n

The Rams, with a record of 11-5, remain in third place in the NFC West.<\/p>\n

They rank number six among the seven postseason qualifiers.<\/p>\n

With Atlanta, Kirk Cousins passed for 126 yards and a touchdown. Bijan Robinson also had 195 yards and two touchdowns, one by reception and the other by carry. <\/p>\n

The Falcons established a consistent series in the first quarter that carried the visiting defense 65 yards on 11 plays until Bijan Robinson’s catch in the diagonals put the game away 7-0.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, Atlanta’s defense also added to the score.<\/p>\n

Jessie Bates intercepted a pass sent too high by Matthew Stafford, which the cornerback took back for a touchdown to extend the lead 14-0.<\/p>\n

Defensive strength returned towards the end of the half with another interception by Xavier Watts, which the offense capitalized on with a spectacular 93-yard run to the end zone by Bijan Robinson to make the score 21-0 before halftime.<\/p>\n

The Rams woke up in the third quarter thanks to a Harrison Mevis field goal, a touchdown throw to Terrance Ferguson and a blocked field goal by Jared Verse, who recovered the ball and carried it 76 yards for a touchdown.<\/p>\n

Atlanta only added on a 56-yard field goal attempt made good by Zane Gonzalez to keep the lead 24-17.<\/p>\n

In the final period Los Angeles<\/a> kept the momentum going and tied it 24-24 with a touchdown reception by Puka Nacua.<\/p>\n

Despite the Rams’ dominance in the second half, on the final offensive drive the Falcons pulled within striking distance for a 51-yard field goal that Zane Gonzalez connected on to round out the 27-24 victory.<\/p>\n
