Falcons defense makes big impact in upset victory over Rams

The Falcons defense surrendered 363 yards of total offense, coming up with three sacks and three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown, in Monday's 27-24 win over the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

The Rams picked up one of their touchdowns on a blocked field-goal attempt Monday night, so the Falcons defense allowed only 17 points. This was an incredibly impressive performance for the Atlanta unit, as Rams QB Matthew Stafford came into this contest having thrown just five picks and taken only 19 sacks (1.3 per game) over 15 games. The Falcons defense has been making impact plays all season long, ranking second in the league in sacks (53) and eighth in takeaways (21) headed into the season finale against the Saints.

Falcons D/ST allows 19 points Sunday

The Falcons' D/ST logged two sacks and one interception while allowing 19 points in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Atlanta's defense had a pretty good game on Sunday. They weren't able to make many splash plays against the Cardinals, but they did hold them to just 19 points, which helped them to secure a win on the road. They should not be started in a tough matchup against the Rams next week, however.

Falcons D/ST logs five sacks Thursday

The Falcons' D/ST logged five sacks and one interception while allowing 28 points in Thursday night's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Atlanta's defense had an up-and-down night on Thursday. They allowed Tampa Bay to score 28 points, which was less than ideal, but they were also able to make some big plays to help turn the tide of the game. They have a nice matchup against the Cardinals coming up next week, but expectations for their fantasy value should be tempered at this point.

Falcons D/ST struggles late Sunday

The Falcons D/ST allowed 37 points on 365 total yards with two sacks and one interception on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

It all fell apart in the second half after Atlanta held Seattle to just two field goals in the first half. They draw Baker Mayfield and the Bucs next week.

Falcons D/ST has uneventful day Sunday

The Falcons D/ST allowed 27 points on 269 yards with two sacks on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Atlanta was solid on the defensive side of the ball, but they didn't force any turnovers with two sacks. They'll draw Sam Darnold and the Seahawks next week at home in Atlanta.
