US EditionRams Face Old Friend in Atlanta with Tough Task to Avoid 2nd Consecutive Loss
Rams (11-4) face Falcons (6-9) led by former coordinator Raheem Morris as Falcons rookie James Pearce Jr. leads 2025 draft class with nine sacks, officials said.
- On Monday, the Los Angeles Rams host the Atlanta Falcons with Raheem Morris, Atlanta Falcons head coach and former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator, returning while Matthew Stafford leads the league with a 112.1 passer rating.

- Atlanta's pass rush has emerged quickly with James Pearce Jr. leading nine sacks and 39 pressures and Jalon Walker adding six, while Morris said Drake London will play despite a knee issue.
- Rams' offensive-line absences complicate game planning as Kevin Dotson and Rob Havenstein are out and Alaric Jackson is questionable; special teams blunders led to Chase Blackburn's firing, with Ben Kotwica now interim coach.
- A traded draft pick looms over Monday's matchup as each Falcons loss improves Los Angeles Rams' draft standing, while Raheem Morris reunites cordially with former Rams staff before the game.
