After a tough loss that precipitated a drop from the NFC #1 seed to #6, the Los Angeles Rams will try to re-group on Monday December 29 in a matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The kickoff from Mercedes-Benz
Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia is set 5:15 p.m. PST.
The 11-4 Rams are not locked into the second Wildcard playoff position, but will need win out their final two games and receive some help from other teams against the 12-3 Seattle Seahawks and 11-4 San Francisco 49ers. After the Monday Night Football game with the 6-9 Falcons, L.A. closes out the regular season at the Arizona Cardinals. Seattle draws the 8-7 Carolina Panthers this weekend and finishes on the ‘Niners home turf. Frisco hosts the 11-4 Chicago Bears this Sunday before the final game clash with the Seahawks.
As well as for the standings and playoff race, a Rams victory would also improve the Falcons Round 1 position in the 2026 NFL Draft. Atlanta shipped that selection to L.A. in last year’s draft. Currently projected to be #12, if Atlanta losses their final two games, that position could realistically move into the Top 10. The Rams will have two picks int Round 1.
The Rams and Falcons have been meeting since Atlanta entered the NFL as an expansion team in 1966 and hold a 49-30-2 advantage. In the three meetings since Sean McVay took the Rams reins in 2017 season, L.A. holds a narrow 2-1 record. This Monday night will mark the first Rams/Falcons tilt with former L.A. defensive coordinator Raheem Morris at the helm for Atlanta.
