Week 17 of the NFL season wraps up tonight with a Monday Night Football game featuring the Falcons and the Rams, a matchup that has generated quite a bit of buzz.
Los Angeles has made it to the playoffs, but they’re out of the running for the division title after a weekend full of action. Seattle and San Francisco, both ahead of the Rams in the rankings, won their games, meaning that the upcoming showdown will ultimately determine the division leader. The Rams will head into the playoffs as a wild card since they won’t be snagging the No. 1 seed.
As for the Falcons, they sit at 6-9 and won’t be making a postseason appearance. Still, they’ve picked up some momentum with two straight wins, having taken down Tampa Bay in Week 15 and Arizona in Week 16.
