Falcons, Rams battle slick grass at Coliseum in wild-card game

LOS ANGELES -- Rams running back Todd Gurley II fell on his face while running a sweep to the left side. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan slipped twice, first on a sack and then on a touchdown pass.

Saturday's wild card game, which ended in a 26-13 win by the Falcons, was played on a slippery Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum that claimed several victims, especially in the first half.

"The conditions were slick, for sure," Ryan said of the natural grass surface.

"It was pretty bad," Gurley said.
