Despite the Rams’ comeback efforts on Monday night, erasing a 21-point deficit in order to claw back on the road against the Falcons, they were unable to get a win. Having already clinched the playoffs, L.A. was effectively playing to improve its playoff seeding, but it failed to get the job done in that regard.
The 27–24 loss sees the Rams fall to 11–5 entering Week 18. As such, they’re in line to be the No. 6 seed in the NFC, behind the 49ers, who won a dramatic game against the Bears on Sunday night to improve to 12–4. Now, barring a San Francisco loss to the Seahawks in Week 18, the Rams will likely enter the postseason as the No. 6 seed.
