Atlanta Falcons vs. St. Louis Rams Open Game Thread

The Atlanta Falcons host the St. Louis Rams this afternoon. The Falcons are looking to even their season record at 1-1 and bounce back from a close, tough loss to the Saints in Week 1. The Rams will look to run their record to 2-0.

Here's a quick look at how the Falcons have fared against their once NFC West rival. It's not pretty.

All-Time Record: 47-26-2, Rams
The Falcons are a little banged up here and will have to deal with a potent Rams pass rush and an underrated offense. Look for them to give the Rams a healthy dose of Steven Jackson, quick passes from Matt Ryan and a concerted effort to get after Sam Bradford. It should be a great game.

Remember to head to Turf Show Times for more on the Rams, but be gracious.
