With the Atlanta Falcons falling to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in Week 7, here are three studs and duds from the Falcons in yet another loss.

The Atlanta Falcons have struggled over the last handful of weeks in the 2019 NFL regular season, and Week 7 was no different. The Falcons extended their losing streak on the season, falling to the Los Angeles Rams at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Atlanta dropped its fifth straight game through seven weeks of the year, being blown out by Los Angeles, 37-10, on their home field.

To open up the game, the Falcons and Rams kept things to a low-scoring affair early on, knotting things up at 3-3 after one quarter in Atlanta. Before halftime, Los Angeles was able to tally 10 points while holding Atlanta scoreless in the second quarter to jump out to a 13-3 lead and not look back.

The Rams went on to outscore the Falcons 24-7 in the second half to come away with the road win over Atlanta, extending its losing streak to five games in a row.

With the loss, the Falcons dropped to 1-6 overall on the season while continuing to drop both in the NFC South standings behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints ahead of them in the division. Atlanta will turn around and take on a tough Seattle Seahawks at home before going into their Week 9 bye.

With the Falcons falling once again, this time against the Rams, let’s look back at the game and pick three studs and duds from the loss for Atlanta.
