Rams...28 Falcons...16
- Share via
ST. LOUIS -- Gus Frerotte carries blame for the St. Louis Rams’ last home loss.
His fast start had a lot to do with the franchise finally getting a win.
Frerotte threw three touchdown passes in the first half, then sweated out two second-half interceptions, in a 28-16 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, the Rams’ first home win this season in six games.
Frerotte, who fumbled a routine snap on fourth and goal from the one-yard line in the final minute of a five-point loss to the Seattle Seahawks last week at home, got his third start of the year in place of Marc Bulger, sidelined by a concussion last week.
Chris Redman threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter after replacing an ineffective Joey Harrington for the Falcons (3-9).
The Rams (3-9) had their third home television blackout this season after only one the first 12 seasons in St. Louis.
Quoteworthy: “We had fans dancing on the Jumbotron, so we’re making headway.” -- Steven Jackson, Rams running back
