Silver lining: No more Rams The good news is that the Falcons have nine more games, and none of them are against a team from St. Louis. The Rams, 45-29 victors on Sunday, outscored the Falcons 86-49 in their two games this year. In the last two years, the Falcons have been outscored 162-69 by St. Louis. Of historical note: The game began with both teams running back kickoffs for consecutive touchdowns, beginning with Darrick Vaughn's 96-yard jaunt to open the game. That was the first time in NFL history that happened. |

| Mortensen: Good try by Falcons |
|
Monday, October 16 I can't wait for this argument again – who is the Rams' MVP, Kurt Warner or Marshall Faulk? Sunday, it was Faulk with 208 yards rushing. I thought the Falcons again made a fair accounting, but their defense had trouble getting off the field. I'm not going to say much more about the Rams … (yawn) … they're starting to bore me. But they did justify my theory that the game would do just fine without kickers. Chris Mortensen is an NFL analyst for ESPN |  | |

"You've got fourth-and-15 and whatever it was and all you got to do is make the
tackle, and we don't make the tackle."
