The Rams nearly completed the comeback on the Falcons in this week’s edition of Monday Night Football.
Los Angeles and quarterback Matthew Stafford had an opportunity to tie the game with a field goal or go for the win on an expedited final drive with 21 seconds left on the clock. On the Rams’ first-down play, Stafford had receiver Xavier Smith wide open near Atlanta’s 30-yard line, but the throw went just wide and hit the turf for a long incompletion. Monday wasn’t Stafford’s best night with 269 yards and two touchdowns to three interceptions, but this opportunity with the clock dwindling was a shocking miss from the MVP candidate.
