Overview
- Atlanta beat Los Angeles 27-24 on a Zane Gonzalez 51-yard field goal with 21 seconds left, powered by Bijan Robinson’s 195 rushing yards and a 93-yard TD, while Matthew Stafford threw three interceptions including a pick-six.
- The Rams are eliminated from the NFC West and No. 1 seed races and can finish only as the No. 5 or No. 6 seed after back-to-back losses.
- Los Angeles can claim the No. 5 seed only with a win over the Cardinals and a Seahawks victory at San Francisco; otherwise it will be the No. 6 seed facing a tougher road matchup.
- Sean McVay confirmed he will start Matthew Stafford and other regulars against Arizona on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET, a departure from recent finale rest plans.
- The NFL set 49ers–Seahawks for Saturday at 8 p.m. ET to decide the NFC West and the conference’s top seed, and the Falcons’ upset now forces the Buccaneers to beat the Panthers and get a Saints win over Atlanta to take the NFC South.
