NFC Bottom-Feeders Square Off In St. Louis

Two last-place teams will take the field at the Edward Jones Dome this week when the Falcons meet the Rams.  Atlanta is at the bottom of the NFC South at 3-and-8.  The Falcons have dropped two straight after falling 31-13 to the Indianapolis Colts on Thanksgiving.  Joey Harrington started and threw for 155 yards with a touchdown and two picks.  After opening the season with eight straight losses, the Rams had their two-game winning streak snapped with a 24-19 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.  Gus Frerotte replaced Marc Bulger, who was injured in the first quarter.  Frerotte had a touchdown, a pick, and a costly fumble on the goal line in the closing seconds.  The Rams knocked the Falcons out of the 2004 playoffs with a 47-17 rout in the NFC Divisional playoff game.
