Nobody expected them to beat the Los Angeles Rams, but the Atlanta Falcons pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season on primetime last night. While the 27-24 win also confirmed the Falcons will play a part in deciding the NFC South champion, it was a victory of massive proportions in Atlanta.
The Rams are already a playoff lock, but putting a dent in their playoff seeding is far from ideal. Being the No. 5 seed in the NFC means they'll have an easier draw with the NFC South champion in the first round, which is a significantly more favorable matchup than the third-seeded Philadelphia Eagles.
