The Atlanta Falcons jumped out to a 21-point lead in Week 17’s Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Bijan Robinson’s 93-yard touchdown put Atlanta up 21-0 at halftime. Los Angeles couldn’t get anything going over the first two quarters as the Falcons were in complete control of the game. Until they weren’t.
The Rams came storming back following the first-half shutout. The team completely erased the Falcons’ big lead, tying the game 24-24 in the fourth quarter. While momentum was suddenly on LA’s side, the Falcons withstood the second-half surge. Kirk Cousins and company responded to the Rams’ game-tying touchdown with a clutch drive capped by Zane Gonzalez’s go-ahead field goal.
The always dangerous Rams’ offense had one last gasp with 21 seconds remaining. Matthew Stafford tried to push the ball downfield but Los Angeles ran out of time and the Falcons survived. “I knew they were going to come. That’s who they are. That’s what they do,” Raheem Morris said after Atlanta’s 27-24 win, per Falcons reporter Terrin Waack. “I got a lot of respect obviously for that organization.”
