Now that we're halfway through the season, we have a slightly better idea of where the Rams' bonus first-rounder from the Falcons will land.
In the latest edition of the "Elliss Bowl," Christian Elliss' New England Patriots edged out Kaden Elliss' Atlanta Falcons 24-23 and the Los Angeles Chargers' Daiyan Henley had a huge game just days after family tragedy to highlight area connections in Week 9 of the NFL.
The week concludes with the Philadelphia Eagles facing off against the Green Bay Packers in a wild-card rematch on "Monday Night Football" (8:15 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN) from Lambeau Field. It's a bye week for four teams, with the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs all off.

Falcons release Week 10 depth chart: New starting kicker?
The Atlanta Falcons released a new depth chart ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, and there were a few changes. The team released kicker Parker Romo and signed offensive lineman Andrew Stueber to the 53-man roster.
Parker Romo had been the team's kicker since Week 2, but the Falcons lost confidence in him on Sunday after he missed a key kick against the Patriots. During Atlanta's 24-23 loss to New England, Parker Romo missed an extra point that would have tied the game at 24 with just 4:40 left to play in the fourth quarter.
