Ryan throws for 3 TDs, Falcons thrash faltering Rams 42-14

LOS ANGELES (AP) Matt Ryan passed for 237 yards and three touchdowns and the Atlanta Falcons forced five turnovers in a 42-14 victory over the spiraling Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Deion Jones returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown, and Vic Beasley forced a fumble by Jared Goff and returned it for another TD during Atlanta's comprehensive pummeling of the Rams (4-9), who have lost four straight and eight of nine in their increasingly miserable homecoming season.

Tevin Coleman caught a TD pass and rushed for another score for the Falcons (8-5), who opened up a 42-point lead in the third quarter and stayed atop the NFC South with their fourth win in six games.
