LOS ANGELES – The Falcons are the only NFC team back in the playoffs for the second straight season, and they will face the No. 3 seeded Rams in the first round.
Atlanta will need to be at its best on the road against a Los Angeles squad that boast the NFL's best scoring offense and a defense that has playmakers at every level. The Falcons placed starting left guard Andy Levitre on injured reserve earlier this week, but they are mostly healthy heading into the game.
Ahead of kickoff, Atlanta announced its list of inactive players for the game as well as the starting lineup.
