LOS ANGELES – The Falcons are the only NFC team back in the playoffs for the second straight season, and they will face the No. 3 seeded Rams in the first round.
Atlanta will need to be at its best on the road against a Los Angeles squad that boast the NFL's best scoring offense and a defense that has playmakers at every level. The Falcons placed starting left guard Andy Levitre on injured reserve earlier this week, but they are mostly healthy heading into the game. Â
