In the scheduling conflict between the Atlanta Falcons and the Monster Jam, the Falcons win.
Organizers of the Monster Jam sent the announcement Monday morning after the Falcons secured their playoff schedule:
"Due to the Atlanta Falcons’ recently scheduled home playoff game at the Georgia Dome, the Saturday, January 14, Monster Jam show has been rescheduled to Sunday, March 5, at 3:30 p.m"

All tickets will be honored for the rescheduled March 5 show. Anyone unable to attend should contact your original point of purchase. Additional questions can be directed to the Georgia Dome Box Office at 800-653-8000.
There was already a March 4 show planned, so the new schedule means back-to-back Monster Jam events. Trucks and drivers are competing to be the Atlanta champion, including the following:
Saturday, March 4 & Sunday, March 5
- Grave Digger driven by Adam Anderson
- Max-D driven by Neil Elliott
- Cleatus driven by Colt Stephens
- El Toro Loco driven by Marc McDonald

The Falcons forced the reschedule in a 38-32 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The No. 2 seed in the NFC guarantees a first-round bye, pushing their first playoff game to January 14.
Fans in the Georgia Dome chanted “MVP, MVP!” during Matt Ryan's 331 yard, 4 touchdown performance.
