ST. LOUIS - Gus Frerotte carries blame for the Rams' last home loss. His fast start had a lot to do with the franchise finally getting a victory.
Frerotte threw three touchdown passes in the first half, then sweated out two second-half interceptions that fueled a Falcons comeback in the Rams' first home victory this season.
Frerotte fumbled a routine snap on fourth-and-goal from the 1 in the final minute of a five-point loss to the Seahawks last week at home, and needed a defensive stop after Chris Crocker's interception and 16-yard return to the Rams 33 with 5:33 left gave the Falcons a shot at the lead.
