Rams Defeat Saints 34-10 Behind Stafford's Four Touchdowns

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the New Orleans Saints 34-10 at SoFi Stadium, improving their record to 6-2. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford led the offense with four touchdown passes, boosting his season total to 21, and showcased strong support from receivers such as Puka Nacua, who had seven catches for 95 yards before leaving with an injury, and Davante Adams, who caught two touchdowns. Defensively, the Rams pressured rookie Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, who completed 15 of 24 passes with one touchdown and a late interception. The Saints, now 1-8, rely heavily on their pass defense to challenge the Rams, but have struggled throughout the season, especially with offensive inconsistencies and injuries like the loss of wide receiver Tutu Atwell. The Rams' balanced attack, including effective running by Kyren Williams and tight end Tyler Higbee, and a well-protected Stafford, highlighted the gap between the teams. The Saints' defense may hold the key to any future upset, but their current struggles suggest they are far from contending with the more complete Rams squad.
