Meet this week’s Rams playoff opponent: Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons would prefer to make some new playoff memories, given that their last one involved a 28-3 fourth-quarter lead that turned into a devastating loss to New England in the Super Bowl.
It’s been a bumpy bounce-back for the Falcons, who started this season 3-0, then fell to 4-4 and needed a strong December just to clinch the final wild-card playoff spot in the NFC. The Falcons (10-6) won three of their last four and will play the Rams in a first-round game at 5:15 p.m. Saturd
