Here’s what Rams running back Todd Gurley had to say after the loss to the Falcons:

On if he can put into words the frustration and disappointment: "Honestly man, I really haven't got into it. We're blessed at the end of the day. I thank God for letting us play another game today and just go out there and compete. Obviously, it didn't go the way that we wanted, but at the end of the day we're blessed."

On what the Falcons were doing defensively that he struggled with: "They did a great job. They came in and executed. They have great players. They're not the reigning NFC champs for no reason."

On what he learned the most from game: "I can't really speak on that answer right now. The game just ended, but like I said, at the end of the day we're blessed to be in this situation and play the game we all love every day."
