The Rams fell to the Falcons 27-24 on Monday night, dropping their record to 11-5 and putting them into either the fifth or sixth seed on the NFC’s side of the NFL playoffs. Given the Rams will undoubtedly be on the road and the only thing that can change is their postseason opponent, Los Angeles could have elected to rest its starters against the Cardinals in Week 18. Sean McVay has other plans.
After Monday night’s loss, the Rams’ head coach revealed he plans to play his starters in Week 18 for a simple reason: “We need to play better.”
