Saints game … tweets, plays, articles, highlights

Forbes plays off-QB gets pressure, Forbes closes in to get INT

Rush caused QB to bring ball down… a cool QB gets 1st down, this guy? Chicken with head cut off.

Cannot believe Rams don't have 6 sacks. They will get one or more before end of game… unless Rma use last 3 min pic.twitter.com/0KJJt1zFBS

First time in Stafford’s career wth two straight games with 4+ TD passes

Brock Vierra@BrockVierra
Stafford is in the zone. A perfect combination of targeting superstars while properly distributing the ball

Wyatt Miller@wymill07
The Stafford-Adams connection grows stronger every game. Great throw and catch for 29 to pick up a third-and-long. Stafford knew right where to layer that ball before Adams even turned his head.

LAFB Network@LAFBNetwork
Matthew Stafford is now tied with Kurt Warner (2001) for the second most TD passes (21) through 8 games.

Warner won MVP that year…

Saints-Rams takeaways: Matthew Stafford throws 4 TD passes in blowout of New Orleans

If it felt like the Los Angeles Rams scored every time they got the ball Sunday, it’s because they nearly did.

Save for a three-and-out in the first quarter and a missed field goal in the second, the Rams scored on every possession throughout the first three quarters en route to a 34-10 win against the New Orleans Saints at SoFi Stadium.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes, and running back Kyren Williams rushed for 114 yards and a score.

If it felt like the Saints didn’t get the ball, it’s because they barely did. The Rams had a massive advantage in time of possession (43:53 to 16:07), including holding the ball for nearly 14 minutes (13:48) in the third quarter.

Saints rookie Tyler Shough made his first regular-season start and threw for 176 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

The loss drops the Saints to 1-8, and the Rams improved to 6-2 on the season.

Matthew Stafford, Davante Adams can’t be stopped right now

Stafford had been surging through the first six games of his 17th season, but one thing was missing heading into a trip to London: his connection with Davante Adams. The Rams’ new All-Pro receiver hadn’t found his rhythm with Stafford, and their connection in the red zone was specifically forced and spotty. But they spent that week with Puka Nacua sidelined working on every detail and then added it to the game plan, and the result has been five touchdown catches in two weeks for Adams.

Adams scored twice against the Saints, both on one-on-one plays from goal-to-go situations. He finished with five catches for 60 yards and the two scores. He’s showing the skills that now have him eighth all time with 111 touchdown catches, from savvy route running to strong hands to too big of a catch radius for many cornerbacks to handle. And he’s getting those one-on-one opportunities by playing opposite Nacua. It’s validating every reason the Rams chased him in free agency as the replacement for Cooper Kupp.

Stafford has thrown nine touchdown passes the past two weeks, when the Rams have used more two- and three-tight end sets than ever under coach Sean McVay. It’s keeping Stafford protected, giving him easy throws on play-action and leading to the growth of second-round rookie Terrance Ferguson, who keeps adding splash plays. — Nate Atkins, Rams beat writer

Rams defense looks like one of the league’s best

The Rams defense entered this week having allowed the second-fewest points of any NFL team, thanks in part to having an earlier bye week than some. But they validated the ranking by punishing Shough in his first career start, holding the Saints to all of 10 points, 224 yards and 10 first downs.

The pass rush was constantly in the rookie’s face, keeping him from throwing much down the field. Emmanuel Forbes Jr. was making plays on the ball, including his first Rams interception, as well as a couple of impressive open-field tackles. And Nate Landman provided another one of his signature punch-outs for a forced fumble.

Bigger tests await than the rebuilding Saints, but the Rams have surged ever since a bad first half against the San Francisco 49ers on “Thursday Night Football.” The growth of the outside cornerbacks has been key, as has been living in dime and lessening the load on the linebackers. — Atkins
