Rams lose luster but not game, blowing big lead before holding on to beat Falcons

LA Times  

Rams receiver Cooper Kupp runs past Falcons safety Jaylinn Hawkins on a touchdown catch in the third quarter. It was last February when an inebriated group of Rams players and coaches stood on a stage after a Super Bowl parade and proclaimed their desire to “run it back” and become the first team in nearly two decades to repeat as Super Bowl champion. “He let it float up there for his receiver,” said Ramsey, who rebounded from an admittedly subpar game against the Bills, “and when I get an opportunity like that, I feel like I can go up there and get it as well.” Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey intercepts a pass in the end zone behind Falcons receiver Bryan Edwards late in the fourth quarter. McVay said the Rams have “many things to clean up.” Despite the victory, his team must be more poised and resilient, he said. “Obviously, that’s not exactly how we would like to finish game,” Ramsey said, “But for us to not play our best, especially down the stretch, and still come out with a win, that’s something that we can be glad and be happy about.” After splitting two games at home, the Rams now embark on consecutive trips to play the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers in NFC West games.
