Falcons defense makes big impact in upset victory over Rams
by Nate Miller | Falcons Correspondent | Tue, Dec 30th 11:34am EST
The Falcons defense surrendered 363 yards of total offense, coming up with three sacks and three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown, in Monday's 27-24 win over the Rams.
Fantasy Impact:
The Rams picked up one of their touchdowns on a blocked field-goal attempt Monday night, so the Falcons defense allowed only 17 points. This was an incredibly impressive performance for the Atlanta unit, as Rams QB Matthew Stafford came into this contest having thrown just five picks and taken only 19 sacks (1.3 per game) over 15 games. The Falcons defense has been making impact plays all season long, ranking second in the league in sacks (53) and eighth in takeaways (21) headed into the season finale against the Saints.
