LOS ANGELES -- Those who wondered all season what was wrong with the Atlanta Falcons might have gotten their answer Sunday night: Maybe nothing is wrong with them at all.
Maybe this team has learned from the hard lessons of its Super Bowl collapse against New England 11 months ago. There were encouraging signs during their 26-13 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in an NFC wild-card matchup Sunday night at the Los Angeles Coliseum, where offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian unveiled a game plan that could have been borrowed from L.A. coaching legends John Robinson and Chuck Knox.
